Topic: [SOLVED] Partition 'unknown' after canceled resize/move operation
I messed up my NTFS storage partition and need help really bad.
Initially I had 2 partitions: a 50GB Windows (boot) partition, some unallocated space (15GB) and a 400GB NTFS partition for data storage.
My idea was to enlarge my second NTFS partition by extending it to the left and using up the unallocated space. A few seconds after I started the operation in GParted I saw an estimated time of several hours and pressed cancel. I expected GParted to undo all previous actions and revert the partitions to the original state. Instead, it just aborted the operation and now I've got a 415GB partition of 'unknown' type (see screenshot)
What now? I guess first off I need to back up the 'unknown' partition to an external HDD in case I mess up during the recovery process. How do I do that? Should I dd the entire drive or create an image with some app?
