Recover a hard drive with a completely borked partition table?
I apologize for the long description, but this is a pretty unusual problem and I haven't been able to get a clear answer. I don't want to attempt anything beyond read-only until I know for sure what I'm doing. I should also mention that sending it to a data recovery facility isn't really worth the cost of recovering the data to them (I'm a family friend doing it for free). That being said, if there is a pretty quick fix it would be preferable because of how long they spent ripping the hundreds of DVDs to the drive.
I'm trying to recover a hard drive with a partition table that is completely screwed up. Their son accidentally deleted the partition table then incorrectly used some data recovery software to overwrite the table with a number of file system formats. The non-partition table portions of the drive haven't been overwritten as far as I can tell because a read-only analysis of the drive shows a large list of files. However, since this was primarily an HTPC drive with their DVDs backed up as video_ts folders, recovering the files using a program like photorec isn't an option since all the VOB files are changed to mpg and not put in the proper order, folders, etc.
I think the partition was originally NTFS and GPT, but it might have been and Ext2/3/4 and/or MBR. They can't tell me for certain. I assume the data partition was NTFS because they used to put it in a Windows computer to rip the files to the drive and the OS partition was probably Ext3.
It was a data drive for a computer running Ubuntu. Since this isn't my system and the owner is pretty tech-illiterate, I can't really rely on any of the technical information they've given me.
Is there any software to analyze the drive and attempt to discover what the file system originally was? I can attempt to recover the data properly after that point, but without knowing this, I'm pretty much helpless.
Thanks again in advance.
