hello guys
i have a 1TB HDD and it has 2 partitions of 310GB and 1 partition of 200GB. since i had about 100GB unallocated space left, i wanted to extend them evenly across the partitions and with the 200GB partition it went smoothly using Windows disk management utility. i run my OS on an SSD.
when i tried to extend one of the 310GB it converted to a dynamic disk (i forgot what it said) and it was shown separated (310 + 50-something GB) and i wanted to delete it
but when i deleted it, it lost everything on that partition. it contains my family documents and also my college files(luckily i still have these like thesis files and academic records backupped on the cloud).
then i used EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to recover the partitions i lost(i've used this before to another old drive) and the partitions and its files and folders shows up. i feel relieved.
since my first objective is to use all the remaining unallocated space on the HDD, i thought i'll recover them after i repartitioned and i saved my scan results and continued to try to convert the disk back to basic. that's when i heard of AOMEI Partition Assistant. i downloaded it, managed to convert the disk back to basic, and decided to merge all of the remaining unallocated space to the last 310GB partition.
STUPIDLY, i saved the EaseUS scan result (.rsf file) on the HDD. i didn't know the possibilities of it having problems after merging and all, i thought of recovering the files after repartitioning.
and finally when i tried to recover the files and open the .rsf file, it says "scan session might be corrupted. please rescan to recover your data."
currently i'm still trying using another products like TestDisk but i really don't understand about sector by sector scan or RAW files and all.
hoping so much to get answers and hopefully there's a solution to my problems!
EDIT
i'm not too frustrated by this disaster i made myself because i'm feeling that everything else has already been backupped (like my family documents probably also present in my dad's laptop) but i'm not sure, so i want to recover them anyway
