Hi! Great video! Did everything you said, but I have a problem: after I rebooted, I get the message: "grub rescue". What should I do next?

[amzertech]

@admirim you should try reinstalling GRUB. you can find the instruction by searching google

This is a great tutorial but I still was not able to recover the partition just shows no partitions available. I believe the partition table got screwed after a power fail while writing was happening. Have you used Scalpel/Forensics if you have can you please put a tutorial together, thanks in advance. BTW, your tutorials are awesome!

I almost never comment on videos, but I have to for this one:

Thank you so much! Was seconds away from reinstalling OSX when I came across your video, the instructions are almost identical for Mac, and I now have all the files I was sure I had lost.

Awesome, but justo ne question, I own an HP G72 (it says just G72 on the bottom corner of my screen.) but I was messing around with a livedisk a created and deleted my maine ubuntu partition, so I re-installed ubuntu, will I have to Use the livedisk to recover my old data? or can I still use my main system?

TestDisk saved me!!Me and my data. Having an HP pavilion g6 and trying to make a dual boot after some experiments all the partitions deleted! Running TestDisk form a usb boot and following the instructions, managed to recover data and able to boot in windows 7. I just "write" the [SYSTEM] partition that TestDisk found at the "quick search"!!! GREAT PROGRAM !!!!!
