Windows – How to recover overwritten NTFS partition

data-recoveryhard-drive-recoveryntfswindows

The first 7GB of a 500GB NTFS partiton was accidentally overwritten with another file. Is it possible to recover some of the data in the remaining 493 GB of the NTFS volume? The partition table is intact. The executed command was:

dd if=file of=/dev/sdc1

Thanks

Edit: My question is different. I overwrite first 7GB of NTFS partition. Other question mostly deals with hardware failures or bad sectors.

SOLUTION: None of suggested solutions worked for my case. I partly solved my problem with RecuperaBit. RecuperaBit could recover a lot of small files, including important ones. But it failed to recover big (bigger than 1 GB) files.

In my opinion, only RecuperaBit solution should be advised such (beginning of NTFS volume overwritten) cases.

Thanks to everyone answered and tried to find a solution for me.
