Hello,
I installed VortoxBox, a Fedora based Media Server OS, on a spare HD last night. While I thought I was being clever by disconnecting my XP boot disk and a second HD I have in the PC I forgot to unplug my ext HD. The VortoxBox install is very simple it doesn't give any partitioning options it just formats any drive that's attached to the PC.
So I discovered that it automatically formated my ext HD as EXT4. The HD now appears in the XP Disk Management console as an unallocated Partition.
Is there any way I can recover the data on this disk?
Any help you could give me would be hugely appreciated. Thank you
