a a raw partition was deleted from a disk, a new partition & volume was created. a bit of data has been written to the volume already.
Given the above scenario:
1 – is it possible to restore the original partition?
2 – if first option is no longer possible, is it possible to recover data instead of the partition?
3 – what is the best software (free or commercial) for this operation.
N.B the volume created has not been formatted.
thanks and regards.
Vladimir.

Using an open-source tool called TestDisk can help you either getting the old partition back or just restoring the lost files:

It can run on Linux, Windows, or MacOS.. I've used it many times to get recover deleted partitions and data
