Hi guys,
today I tried to use Wintoflash to make a bootable partition on my external HDD with 10GB assigned to bootable and rest ca. 950GB assigned to my backup. After it started, both partitions disappeared and a partition of 418GB appeared and is empty with the ca 500GB rest of the HDD unaccessible for some reason. I presume the rest is all the data I had there (tbh I think I had there were about 650GB of data on it, but might be wrong). I did not allow it to format either of the drives. I tried using different recovery software but no luck.

MiniTool Partition Wizard says it cannot do anything.
EaseUS Partition Recovery said it cannot do anything and says the drive is empty!
Partition Table Doctor is saying to do Fixboot, and then enter Label or directory. I tried entering what should be int he root folder, but no luck there.

Is there any chance to get the data back? And any ideas how to do it?

Sorry if this has been through some other thread, didn't find anything.

Cheers,
Aleks
