Question Hi, we have a hard drive full of video material and tried to install win 10 to same hard drive.

The windows install did not go through, and now we have 32gb empty free space, and 5,4 teras of unlocated space. Is there any way to recover the data?

Can you show screenshot from Disk Management?

It's in Finnish but i hope you get the idea

So you used a 6TB drive, your Disk 2, to create a Win 10 installer via the MediaCreation tool?

It warned you at least twice that it would wipe out all data on that drive.

 

[Joe_Ville]

Yes, but is it possible to recover the data?

Possibly Minitool Partition Recovery.
But you WILL need some other drive to recover to. You can't do it in place.
And videos are particularly hard to actually recover, simply due to the size. One borked up cluster in th middle can make the whole thing unreadable.

I don't think Minitool partition recovery will be able to do anything there.
Partition scheme has been changed from GPT to MBR and
partition table overwritten,
new partition created,
partition filled with data.

Data recovery software might be able to recover something (certainly not all).
Try getdataback.

I have had great results with getting back filesystems after they go raw or are erased with this tool: https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
