![]() That is, whenever I used to boot normally before the problem comes, I first had to enter a first password to unlock something, and then only my user password to open my session in Linux Mint. I use Linux Mint XFCE (I forgot which version, perhaps 19) and I have encrypted partitions. ![]() When I rebooted, I was asked "Please unlock disk nvmeOn1p3_crypt", but inputting my usual password never succeeds. ![]() Select partition type (probably Intel/PC) Proceed with the Analyse option to search for partition tables. Lessons learned: Testdisk is great exFAT sucks. (Feel free to chime in with advice I’ve updated the title accordingly.) Update 3 Looks like Testdisk is recovering the files just fine I’ll mark this as solved. Most likely this will be Intel/PC unless you are using a more specialized system. Testdisk is able to list some if not all of the lost files I’m following the TestDisk step-by-step guide to try to recover the files. Select mmcblk0. Select the disk that contained the deleted partition you want to recover. ![]() ![]() In my last attempt, TestDisk manage to detect some thing, but most of the disk (in GParted) still appeared to be "unused space", i.e., absent from any partition. With the dump on the Linux machine's file system, now we can let TestDisk take it from there: testdisk mmcblk0.raw First restore the GPT partition table. Here are some logs from boot-repair (made sequentially after each try): I tried many techniques, including running Gparted Live OS, TestDisk, and Boot-Repair-Disk, but none succeeded. I erased by mistake my partition table (and, I suppose, only the table) and, when rebooting, (no surprise) the system did not boot at all (directly to the BIOS, saying no system found). Mint has become the very best example of what a Linux desktop should be: fast, easy, pleasing to the eye, useful and productive. TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery software which was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting your partition table). ![]()
