Hi,
I run Gutsy in my laptop and recently downloaded Puppy Linux to have
it installed on to my 256MB pen drive(sdb). I downloaded the ISO and
used the 'dd' to write the image file to sdb. During this time I also
had connected a USB harddisk.(sda - ntfs).
By mistake I specified sda1 instead of sdb1. I realized it immediately
but I was too scared to press 'ctrl c' fearing it would corrupt the
partition.
The ISO was 46 MB. Size of sda1 is about 45 GB. Now when I try to
mount sda1 it gets mounted as a CDROM drive with puppy linux on it.
I am sure other than those 46 MB all data in sda1 should be intact. Is
there any way that to recover that data or is it possible to recover
overwritten ntfs partition.
