WARNING: If you’ve formatted and/or added new data to the drive, or carried on with an OS installation, chances of recovery are very less.
Most people end up deleting their partition table while they try to install a new OS for the first time, I personally know a couple of them who ended up deleting their partition table while they tried to install Linux for the first time, (more on that later), Now what I am going to introduce to you a tiny tool called “gpart” which will help you restore your deleted partition table.
Things you’ll need.
