Re: Dual-booting problem: Linux option missing

This is off-topic.
TestDisk cannot repair your unknown dual-boot system. Please ask your friend.

Re: Diskpart o0ps

You need to rescue the content of your external disk using a specialized program like ddrescue (as described in the TestDisk manual).
Using any rescue software on your assumably defective disk might diminish your chances of recovery.

Je n'utilise pas d'Ubuntu. Veuillez publier le fichier de type "desktop" que vous avez créé ici dans le forum quand même.

Re: Lanceur Testdick (Ubuntu)

Si vous créez un lançeur qui si réfère à un fichier du nom "Testdick" cela va jamais fonctionner. Il faut être précis.

Le logiciel de Christophe Grenier n'a pas de nom vulgaire.

Re: Partition became Unallocated, files seem to be there somewhere, need to get partition back!

You massacred your disk. Although TestDisk obviously presented you with a safe option for recovery you decided to gamble despite your first destructive experience. You lost.

I won't answer your question as I don't know what you did exactly and I don't want to speculate.

Re: Using QPhotorec in a 2TB External HDD is taking too long and I don't know if I should keep going

Are you using the most recent TestDisk package (containing PhotoRec and QPhotoRecWin)?

There might be an issue with an older version.

112 reallocated sectors is proof of a dammaged disk.
PhotoRec is stressing a disk depending on its content.
