I have an dd image of a partition that once had a Windows 10 NTFS filesystem and then got accidentally formatted (or so I assume) and now has a pretty empty NTFS with only an empty Windows directory on it.
Is it possible to recover at least some files by scanning the binary dump for Magic Bytes?
I tried testdisk, foremost and some other tools without finding *any* file so I'm wondering if NTFS somehow works that different than FAT or ext where the contents can be found even if the filesystem is not readable any more.
