gparted
I used GParted to convert a primary partition to extended one after copying the data to another partition. After having the extended partition I moved the data back. To my utter shock after a restart I found out that the new extended partition did convert into "unallocated space". I tried installing testdisk
. Testdisk could identify the partition as a primary partition and not the newly created extended partition. So what should I do now? I badly want the data back.
