Fedora Users — Re: misuse command dd, how to recover

Thank you for you all. I used "dd & hexedit" to fix the MBR. And then with disk recovery software I gain most of files back.

It makes me thrilled. Thanks again.

I also vote for testdisk. However when I used it recently I had no luck
with version provided by fedora (testdisk-6.11-6). So, I contacted
Christophe Grenier (testdisk developer) and he suggested me to try
TestDisk 6.12-WIP:
wget -N http://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk-6.12-WIP.linux26.tar.bz2
tar xjf testdisk-6.12-WIP.linux26.tar.bz2
cd testdisk-6.12-WIP
sudo ./testdisk_static
