Hi all,

i hope someone can help me recover my data.

I accidentally have written grub to the wrong drive.

I have attached hex snippets from the drive in question and from another encrypted drive. Seems Grub is all over the place.

Do you see any chance i achieve anything?

Best regards
Bernhard

Hi all,

i hope someone can help me recover my data.

I accidentally have written grub to the wrong drive.

I have attached hex snippets from the drive in question and from another encrypted drive. Seems Grub is all over the place.

Do you see any chance i achieve anything?

Hi Arno,

ah, well. Worth a try since i saw similar topics floating around.

One single moment of carelessness and a few days of grief and anger. On the other hand i do have 2 TB of free space again. lol

Hi all,

i hope someone can help me recover my data.

I accidentally have written grub to the wrong drive.

I have attached hex snippets from the drive in question and from another encrypted drive. Seems Grub is all over the place.

Do you see any chance i achieve anything?

Best regards
Bernhard
