| Mar 7, 2021 at 14:55 | comment | added | Zorawar | Most important thing is to leave the damned disk alone. Do not write to that disk at all. Do not even allow it to be attached to a booting OS just in case. When you are ready to do data recovery (see answers below) mount it manually READ ONLY. | |

| Mar 7, 2021 at 12:30 | comment | added | Chris Davies | @PeterCordes if it was an HFS variant the resource fork would have held the metadata. Here it's the ._* files holding the metadata | |
| Mar 7, 2021 at 11:18 | comment | added | Peter Cordes | Are you sure the filesystem is really NTFS, not a format MacOS can use natively like HFS+? (Linux hfsplus drivers) | |
| Mar 7, 2021 at 11:17 | history | edited | Peter Cordes | CC BY-SA 4.0 | Put the FS type in the title, even though it's surprising for a disk used with MacOS to have an NTFS partition, not HFS+ |

| Mar 6, 2021 at 17:42 | comment | added | terdon♦ | Did you already upload the files to onedrive? I mean, ignoring the errors about the ._ files (which are irrelevant anyway, see my answer), were the rest uploaded? If so, everything is absolutely fine, all files have been backed up and only the ._ files were ignored which is not a problem at all. | |
