I am stuck up on another SSD , its Intel NVMe 512 GB.As per client and its IT person OS was crashed and they tried to restore but it did not worked .
I have tried several tools including UDMA but required data is missing.
Attached is some screenshots , full scan log of dmde and first 100 Mb sectors.
Can someone pls. interpret what would have actually happened.

100 MB download link -- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m3bmDk ... sp=sharing
full scan log -- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v0VS9P ... sp=sharing

Thanks

What do you mean the required data is missing? All of the user data or just the odd file. If they did a full system restore the data is going to be gone.

This is another BS story from an IT guy, he probably has been screwing around with some partitioning tool. We see for example the ESP labeled partition show up as both GPT and MBR type partition. We GPT and extended MBR partition. These are things that should not exist at the same time. IF MBR type partitions we have no GPT, IF GPT we only should have one MBR type partition, the placeholder, the protective partition.

I'd ignore partitions and for example use DMDE's special sector scan to locate all FAT32 and NTFS boot sectors and see which make sense. Very brief demonstration: https://youtu.be/5RClVfg-uOk

Thank you so much Arch :good: :good:
Despite having professional version for several years ,I was not aware of this function.
Thanks for interpreting what would have happened which both IT engineer and customer hide from us.
