Hi guys, i know everybody here use a lot win32DiskImager... and i had one problem that maybe some have experienced it.
I have Accidentally wrote a retropie image(*.img) (using Win32DiskImager) to my external hard disk instead in my SDCard.
5s after i start have canceled the win32diskimager.
Now it reads 55MB as a partition is established on that.
there is any way to recovery the DATA that was in my external hd.
Oh god... i had so much important stuf there.....

Try an NTFS Search using DMDE:

Can you show us DMDE's Partitions window?

Hi,

So this is what I did in the weekend .
When I checked the partition that the windsik32 make, i had this ( atached Partition img )


Then i made the partition readable on the windows and start to use WONDERLIST to recovery the folders.
It found all the folder, pic, archives and the all 800G that I had.
So at the end of the process the program transfer everything for another extra HD that I have.
Today wen try to open a pic, a Excel , word or a program.... it is corrupted.
I have the 800G that I had, and the folder and archives are all there… but I can not use it.

I Still have the original drive the new archives are in another drive… And im desperate… I don’t know what to do 

the DMDE is atached on this post

Double-click the 1TB Samsung partition.

Expand the Root

... or ...

Expand [All Found + Reconstruction]
- select Default Reconstruction
Select a large file, r-click and Recover the Object to another drive
Test the recovered file

Thank very much for your attetion. I realy apreciate it! )

Incredible! On the root file was all my folder and archives.

I selected them all and start to make a copy to another drive .( See Here the pic http://imgur.com/lC5xAOP )

Im not shure how much Gigas i had... maybe could be corrupted files, or files that is not on those folder?

It is better to make what you sayd on "Expand [All Found + Reconstruction]"? ( more chances to get all back?)

Thank you!

I don't know the answer to your question. You will need to experiment.

Be aware that the free version of DMDE can only recover a limited number of files. The full DMDE Express version only costs US$20.

I would test your recovered files to make sure that all is OK. I don't know why you started with the Recycle Bin -- I would have thought that other files would have been more important.

Good luck.
