How to recover my list of who's naughty and nice? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
I would recommend Recovery using TestDisk.
Boot Ubuntu from Live USB drive or CD, , run
sudo apt-get install testdisk
TestDisk is used to recover missing partitions and repair a corrupted one. It served me well in recent past to recover entire Hard disk , so i am suggesting it.
After installing ,open Terminal and run sudo testdisk
to get this
Select the create
to create new log file ,select the Hard disk you want to recover , Proceed
upon selecting the Disk
Then select the Intel
option , Enter
to proceed further.
Analyse
to search for Lost Partition
Then it will list the Current Partition Structure , select the Quick search
option to list the Deleted partition
.
If Found Nothing then select the Deeper search
option to list the deleted partitions. It will probably list all the partitions created since the Disk was First used. You have to be extremely careful here.
For more in-depth instructions refer this Step-By-Step guide .If found proper listing of partitions , select the Write
option and Reboot to see the changes. Best of Luck .
