GetDataBack is a GUI program that is also quite powerful, but I haven't used it in many years, so YMMV. And it requires purchase to actually copy out the "maybe recoverable" data. Source: over 1 year ago
You tried to absolutely useless tools. It does not mean better software can actually recover the data but it should at least be tried before making assumptions about recoverability of the data. Scan with for example R-Studio (r-tt.com) and GetDataBack (runtime.org). If these come up empty handed as well then it does not look too good. Source: about 2 years ago
It sounds like you used an external drive for Media Creation Tool target. Unfortunately this writes enough data to the drive to largely overwrite file system structures that were on that drive. It depends on for example file system somewhat if partial file system based recovery is possible, DMDE might not be best tool for that. If file system was NTFS you may want to try GetDatBack from runtime.org. Source: about 2 years ago

Last time I built a multi tool using YUMI but it was for legacy BIOS, not UEFI (clearly been a few years). https://easy2boot.xyz/ seems to be what I'm seeing reccomended for creating UEFI multiboot USBs these days, but I don't have personal experience with it and I would save that project for another day.

If you want to use your own iso and ntlite doesn't work for you, try easy2boot (https://easy2boot.xyz/). It basically patches the iso on-the-fly with its own AHCI drivers (for x86 only) and ramdisk driver (which stores the iso file in ram so installation process is very fast). The AHCI driver is not up to date (compared to those on win-raid) but at least it works on my z97 motherboard so it should work for you. Source: over 1 year ago
There's also Easy2Boot, which is pretty flexible and includes Ventoy. Source: over 1 year ago
