Big rookie mistake for a deleted TrueCrypt partition

[OP_c]

Hi guys,

I need help, i'm using TC 7.1a for my external HD.
Standard TC partition on the entire HD.
As you know, because windows do not reconize the TC Partition when you plug the HD, you have a message if you would like to format blablabla....
Well, i was fighting with wires on my desk, and i let my elbow on the num. pad... on Enter.....
I know how ridiculous it is....

So, i immediately unplugged the HD, but what has been done is done.

Is there any sofware to recover my TC partition ???
In case you are wondering, yes of course i know my own password.

Thank you guys.

The volume should have a backup header at the end. As such, attempting to mount it in TrueCrypt should be successful if you know your password. It may not show up with your data anymore since something had to be overwritten during the partial formatting process that occurred before you could unplug, but once it is mounted as a RAW/unknown partition, you may be able to use some recovery utility to see what data you can recover/repair inside of that RAW/unknown partition.

Hi Dustin,

Ty for trying to help me

Recovering the data with a sofware could be perfect if i can have access to the partition.
Could you please describe me how to access the partition ?
Because if i try to auto-mount with TC with my PW, it do not recognize anything.

EDIT: Ok i found it, scaning the HD to recover the data ATM, gonna take a while, i keep you in touch until it's done.
Thank you again for your help.
