I have used the mv
command to move a folder from my Linux partition onto my Windows partition (mv /home/FOLDER /media/WINPARTITION/User/Me/Music/FOLDER
).
I have read a lot now and understand (I think) that when you do such a thing several things happen:
1) the link to the disk locations where FOLDER was stored on the Linux partition gets deleted (/home/FOLDER
is gone). It appears really hard to retrieve this data.
2) FOLDER
did get copied onto the Windows partition (now: C:\Me\Music\FOLDER
)
3) After booting Windows, Windows restores everything to the last booting situation (i.e. my copied C:\FOLDER
is gone in Windows as it did not exist at last shut down)
My question is then: If it is so hard to retrieve FOLDER
at the original location, is there maybe a way to retrieve what Windows had deleted (i.e. C:\Me\Music\FOLDER
) using a Windows tool?
Thanks a lot for any comments! Best, Tom
mv FOLDER /media/WindowsPartition/User/Me/Templates/
. Then, in windows, i discovered that Templates is a weird folder and i cannot access it. so i went back to linux and didmv /media/WindowsPartition/User/Me/Templates/FOLDER /media/WindowsPartition/User/Me/Music
. Then, after booting into windows, FOLDER was not to be found neither in windows nor in linux. Sorry for missing this description in the original post.
