I have a small problem, I accidentally formatted one of my drives in Windows.
PhotoRec finds the partition, but Testdisk doesn’t.
Help would be really appreciated.
I’ve tried everything I thought of, even manualy changing the partition type to linux, and the filesystem to ext4
what exactly are you trying to do?
Recover the data?

Yes, testdisk is for recovering partitions/data without having another disk to move them to. It worked once before on another disk. But it doesn’t work this time. I don’t have another HDD at 4TB
But I find it weird that PhotoRec finds the partition, and not just loose files. But TestDisk doesn’t find anything.
UPDATE: I can find the partition when searching for non-partitioned media. But I can’t write when searching for that.
EDIT: It also finds a few superblocks in non-partitioned mode
I FIXED IT I ****ING FIXED IT
I went to superblock while in non-partitioned mode. and then it just told me to use a command, here’s it:
fsck.ext4 -p -b 163840 -B 4096 /dev/sde
in case anybody from the future reads this. 153840 being one of the superblock numbers, 4096 being the size and /dev/sde being the drive.
