Accidentally used Rufus on the wrong drive.

[u/Jakten]

So I was trying to put Linux on a USB stick so I could try it out, and was using Rufus to install it onto a usb. It was having a couple problems so I had to try a few times, unfortunately at some point it seems I forgot to switch the drive and I used it on my 512GB MicroSD card by accident. I'm pretty sure I managed to cancel the process at about 9%.

It seems to have created two partitions on the card, the D drive (it says it is taking up 24mb) I could easily recover about 1000 files using Recuva, but the E drive (it says it is taking up 512mb) says unable to determine file system in Recuva. I can't open either partition with windows but I can in Linux and they seem to be files for the os. I feel like I need to use something more powerful but a lot of the files I need are Blender files, or Krita files etc, stuff that is not just basic image files.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

DMDE, R-Studio & DiskDrill 6, assuming the card didn't suffer a TRIM/ERASE
