  1. If the contents of this drive have high importance and you don’t have backups, stop what you’re doing and sent it out to a data recovery specialist. It will cost ~$700+.

  2. Otherwise, I’d try Testdisk.

  If it was an SSD… Its possible you have an SSD that claims to be say 256Gb but actually has a 32Gb chip inside (or smaller) that lies about how big it is and just wraps the writes so they complete… However the format is broken, as is the drive.

    I second this. Use a tool like ValiDrive to test whether that's the case; if it is, anything you've copied to the drive is unrecoverable.

  ntfs-3g on linux has some recovery tools, maybe they could work?

    Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !techsupport@lemmy.world

  I’ve used getdataback successfully a few times in the past.
