I need to recover data (very large video files) from an external USB disk that was accidentally formatted in Disk Utility on MAc OS.
Original Partition - EXT-DOS
Newly created partition - Mac OS Extended
Nothing was written to the disk, the mistake was realized immediately during the process.
I have scanned the drive using Disk Drill that finds the lost partition but the video files are not there, just some small jpg pictures that I could recover fine.
Is there a way to restore the previous file structure to find the large (10GB+) files or the sector by sector scanning the only option? I had trouble doing that in the past as the videos were recovered but corrupted.
I have looked at the other question, which is 11 years old and finding the tools and options mentioned obsolete: How do I recover lost/inaccessible data from my storage device?
