I try to recover data but I cant know chich filesystem is being used. I see the disk named sda in lsblk.
I tried :
sudo fsck /dev/sda
Gives me
The superblock could not be read ir dies not describe a valid ext...
And I tried with every magic number given by mke2fs -n /dev/sda
I also tried
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/sda /media/usr/external
Gives me
NTFS Signature is missing. Failed to mount...
Using ntfsfix I get the same error
EDIT The PC which cant boot anymore is running windows 7 but I don’t know the filesystem used
I try to recover using Ubuntu running live on usb key. These are commands I tried since the creation of the post :
$ sudo parted -l
Error: /dev/sda: unrecognized disk label
$ mount -t vfat /dev/sda /media/usr/external
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda
The drive is not encrypted according to the owner of the PC.
I did not tried to modify windows files because I cant have access to it
Still blocked, any idea ?
