One time I was installing Windows on a server that had two hard drives: one empty one which I wanted to install Windows on, and a 30 GB hard drive from a PREVIOUS FREEBSD installation that had a UFS partition on it or what ever the FreeBSD 5 partition is...

Anyway, I used the Windows installer and accidentally formated (into an NTFS partition; full format) the FreeBSD partition, instead of formatting the empty hard drive that I really wanted to install windows on.

I basically had formatted a hard drive full of family photos, and I really want to recover the files. Currently my hard drive is an empty NTFS partition and I know my files are still there from the FreeBSD partition.

Does anyone know of a fast way to recover lost FreeBSD files from an NTFS formatted hard drive?

Thanks for your help!!

Welcome to the forums!

You might be able to recover them using either TestDisk and/or PhotoRec.

Both can be found here:

TestDisk - CGSecurity

Good luck with your recovery efforts.
