I recently formatted a FAT32 external hard drive to ext4. After realising this was, in my case, a mistake I now want to attempt to recover the data whilst keeping the folder structure intact How can I do this in Ubuntu 13.04? Is there a way to have TestDisk search the whole disk/all data instead of just known partitions?
I'm aware that PhotoRec ignores filesystem but it recovers files with no folder structure and with odd names like f9189667.txt f9189677.txt etc
