Hacking Need help recovering wbfs files

[urdead77]

Hello,the power board to my external hd died.So I hooked it to my pc and with disk management and right clicked the unalloced partition and did a New Simple Volume. I assigned a letter and told it NOT to format. So then I was left with a raw partition. After this I tried it in wbfs, still didn't work. Then I used WBFS to format it as a wbfs partition. I'm trying to recover my games so I tried using WWT not sure what I am doing.But now when I open the drive in Wii back up manager it shows files there but they are just crazy letters.are there any commands in the WWT I can use to fix this?

Why did you make a new partition ?
You just had to plug the HDD, assign a drive letter and use the software as usual...
You have overwritten the allocation table, don't think this can be recovered.

Try using Wii Backup Manager, see if it can read your games, if not then I guess you have screwed up.

Try what Yepi mentioned, I've had a similar problem in the past and that fixed it for me.
