Re: .eml file extension is missing : (

Yes, it is missing. :(

It is a tricky issue. EML looks to me like a single raw email. EMLX (contained in PhotoRec) is different from EML.

If you don't have any email software installed that is using mbox as a storage format, checking mbox might produce EML files.

It appears to me that the mbox ...

Re: Can Testdisk resolve the following partition issue?

Check the Microsoft website. I don't use Bitlocker and you have to find it out for yourself - I don't know more than you.

I just noticed I did not answer the main question:
Is this something Testdisk could resolve?
No, Testdisk requires unencrypted devices.

Re: Can Testdisk resolve the following partition issue?

As I don't know how an Bitlocker encrypted partition appears in TestDisk or if it appears at all, you should duplicate the disk using ddrescue as described in the manual.
Afterwards you would completely decrypt the partition using your password.

With the encryption being gone you can use any tool ...

Re: exFAT partition partially recovered

FAT16, FAT32, EXFAT are names of file systems of the "FAT family".
VFAT though, is a name for a certain feature within that family.

VFAT:

Re: exFAT partition partially recovered

You don't make a cat out of a mouse by putting a sticker labeled "cat" on it.
I doubt that TestDisk could help here.
You can run PhotoRec instead to recover files.
Before running PhotoRec though, try out other regular recovery software that is scanning for the remains of your EXFAT file system. That ...

Re: btrfs partition revocery


Thank you @recuperation for your answer.

My hard disk is 2TB. USB image is 1.4GB. So I have overwritten only 0,07% of my hard disk and data.
Thank you, you are absolutely right. I said 1,4TB instead of 1,4GB.

You said, that I have to copy out data and start with new formatting again?
