Windows 10 automatic chkdsk on boot corrupted linux filesystem
I had a Linux mint install on a SSD that I was going to work on in a VM on my Windows 10 machine, so I plugged the SSD into my windows machine, and when windows booted it ran chkdsk automatically to try to repair the drive. I did not pay attention to the machine booting and did not cancel the chkdsk. It did something, and now my linux partitions are gone with one big partition on the drive that is supposedly NTFS. Before, i'm guessing it was ext4.
Is there any way to recover the old partitions? I don't know the geography of the drive.

Without using drive recovery software or having backups that data is lost. This is a little beyond the scope of this site and off-topic since you are only mentioning Windows and this is a Unix and Linux site.

The drive in question was a functioning Linux install with (i'm guessing) an ext4 filesystem. It was corrupted with chkdsk on boot of windows 10. My question is about recovering the Linux filesystem from damage caused by chkdsk, which i feel is linux related, but I guess not?

Issues with an ext4 filesystem are related but if this drive has been reformatted then only a back up or recovery software can solve this. And it can lead to opinion based answers. So you can edit your question to be about a specific issue you have completing a backup using *nix software or completing the recovery again with *nix software. Check out the Help Center for more information on how to post to this site.
