Question I have accidentally deleted my entire disk partition when creating a partition for arch linux, it contained win 10 along with 500gb of data

Is it possible to retrieve the data anyhow? I really dont know where to post this and i am desperate 😭😭

So you only delete the partition, and did not create a new partition and/or install arch linux to it?

I wanted to resize the biggest partition I had by specifying where it should end and I wrote 800 thinking it was in GB, and after 5 mins I found out it was 800 mb and I am completely fu**ed. I didnt install arch linux to it

so you cancel/stop the resizing? shouldn't resize if it have more data than 800mb

Is the data not recoverable?

Can you show us the Partitions window in DMDE?

How do I use it in Arch Linux?

This is when you 'retrieve the data' from the backup you made before this happened.

I haven't made a backup

Well, yes, we figured that.
Otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question.

My comment is more for the other 10,000 people who may read this in the coming years.

I have uses resizepart on my biggest partition with all my data and resized it to 800mb instead of 800 gb

 

[rgd1101]

it won't resize if you have more then 800mb data. did you do something first?

 

[fzabkar]

AIUI, resizepart doesn't affect the data, only the partition table (MBR) or GPT. DMDE should be able to repair this kind of damage with a couple of clicks. I've never used the Linux version, though.

How do I use DMDE on my computer if I only have arch linux installed?
