I have a 1TB HDD with 3 partitions. One of the partitions is/was NTFS formatted. However, I accidentally formatted it on a Mac to HFS+.
I dd the whole disk to an image and ran Photorec on the partition. It did find a lot of files but without filename and without folder structure. I looking to recover photos which I sorted by date via folders. Photos are old digicam photos without proper metadata.
Trying DiskDrill yielded the same results as Photorec. Files without folder structure.
What else can I try to recover the files with the original folder structure. Is it possible to recover the NTFS partition with test disk. I copied the whole disk with dd to a ssd.
Apparently the folders are recoverable because I sent it to a specialist for inspection, unfortunately the price for the recovery would have been more than I could afford.
Any help is much appreciated
