GUID Partition Table & MBR Mistake
Evening Folks.
First off, I want to say how appreciative I am of having the SevenForums as a resource. You all are absolute heroes to many that come on here seeking help!
Down to the problem.
I recently received a new SSHD, and replaced my previous HDD with it. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 Enterprise (Same OS I had on my previous HDD), and got everything running as it should have been. I went to go pull my old user data (Docs, Pics, Music, Etc) off of the previous HDD, and when I loaded the disk with my drive bay, nothing showed up.
So, I went into Disk Management to see if it was there. It was. However, when I clicked on it, a window popped up saying GUID or MBR. Now, I'm new to the Enterprise realm of things, so I chose what I was used to using: MBR. WRONG CHOICE....
Long Story Short:
Is it possible to recover my data that is still on the drive by somehow switching it back to GUID Partition Table, without erasing the data? I'm currently running a program called TestDisk which I've had success with in the past, but it is taking an absolute eternity to run.
Also down a bit with the finances, so if there's any solution that doesn't break the bank, that's good too.
Thanks guys!
