Recover >2TB Guid Partition after delete (didn't format yet)
During the Windows 7 install, when you have to choose which drive/partition to install too I deleted one too many partitions. I didn't format the drive yet, just pressed the delete partition button and confirmation.
The one which wasn't meant to be deleted is a partition of about 7.5 TB, of which 3.25 TB used.
This used a Guid partition table since the total size is > 2TB.
I already tried using testdisk to restore the partition, but no luck.
Testdisk does still see the files on the disk, but after writing the found partition table to disk it seems that testdisk only restores a partition of 2TB in size, the rest is considered unformatted space in Windows disk management.
Other specifications if required: 5x 2TB Samsung in RAID 5 using an Adaptec 5805 Raid controller.
The raid itself is fine, as expected.
I hope there's someone out there who knows a solution :)
