I had Ubuntu 20 LTS. I had two HDD partitions, one for my documents and the other for os and system files. I upgraded to Ubuntu 22 LTS. It had asked me if I want to format the drive before installing and I proceeded to continue thinking the documents drive/partition won't be affected. Now, the new Ubuntu has been installed, the drive/partition has gone and I only have one drive which seems the memory has been merged.

I tried testdisk but I don't have any luck with it. Can someone help me please? I really had important documents in that partition/drive and I can now only cry. :'(

Thank you so much in advance.

    "I tried testdisk but I don't have any luck with it". Try again -- that's your best hope. After that, you enter the realm of paid data recovery companies. You have learned a painful lesson on the value of backups. Sorry. – user535733 Jan 16 '23 at 20:30
  • Hi @user535733, is the deeper search my best option? It loads up tons of stuff. I really cannot figure out which one is the deleted partition/drive. – Rosh Jan 16 '23 at 20:33
  • As mentioned already, it is gone. A deeper search by Google won't help you. But backups and checking 2-3 times before clicking "OK" during partitioning is absolutely vital, It is gone, unless you take your hard disk out and find a data recovery company. – Ray Jan 16 '23 at 20:46
  • By deeper search, I meant deeper search in testdisk. – Rosh Jan 16 '23 at 20:51
