Thanks for the quick reply!
I am not sure what filesystem it was. Maybe NTFS, but this is not 100%. At the moment I do not have another disk to copy (dd) all the cca 700 G data from that drive, but I can get one. Many data are also available elsewhere, but I have several photo/video files that are the only copy.
If you have NTFS, a good bet is "Restorer Ultimate". It is payware, but inexpensive, and runs from Windows. You need another disk into which to copy what it recovers. May have to run for many hours. As far as I remember, it doesn't write to the original disk. I know it is good because I used it once. You can search your computer log to find out the messages when it was last mounted: it is possible that it mentions something like "ntfs volume mounted". If you want to try tools that try to restore the disk structure by writing to it, ie, "repair" the disk, then you absolutely need to copy a backup of the entire disk image to another disk before trying. If the "repair" fails you will not be able to try again, so do a backup of the image. Yes, it is a 1 TB image, that's a lot. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
