Hi;

DMDE is showing correct filenames, foldernames, structure - tree, with correct timestamps for both partitions on the HDD.
Testdisk is showing everything, correct filenames, foldernames, structure - tree, with correct timestamps in this case for the second partition.
But few expensive ones, not ...

Hi recuperation;

thanks for reply; yes, for the reason of the possible damage, I made that exact HDD 3TB clone. Now I am copying the clone back to the original drive, cause I "overplayed" a bit with those tries, experiments.

This application is providing extended definitions with number of ...

Hi;

I tried to explain the results from DMDE.

DMDE (Disk Manager, version 3.4.4 free version), found 4 partition records:
1. NTFS Total space, as it is not partitioned at all 3TB, no filesystem here;
2. NTFS MS Data partition, wrong one, 2TB which is overlapping the 3rd partition found by DMDE ...

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, seems that Testdisk Deeper Scan did not find more details about 1st partition.

I tried more other apps (7-8 of them), most applications provided no details.

Only the DMDE, newest version, in it's freeware mode, did recognize 2 partitions, seems in correct ...

Hi;

I found some explanations related to the filesystem issues in the Forum: -> "Using NTFS backup boot sector, TestDisk will be able to list the files."

Also: -> "TestDisk, Advanced, Repair then should be able to list the files by listing only the valid MFT records, they will need to scan the ...

Now, I have to ask, most important: may I use those details from first session in the log somehow to input them into partition table?

Hi;

Now, the Deeper scan / search is 75%. I would let it finish the search, I saw many Linux and small number of MS Data partitions in the existing list of found partitions.

Here is only first, small part of the log:

I decided, after previous reply, to do the Deeper search (EFI).

After 3 days, it is going over 50% of the 3TB HDD, so it may need up to 3 days more to finish. I am using 2XHDD docking station with USB3.0 cable to laptop.

Is that too slow (I saw on some other topics that EFI Deeper search / scan ...

Seems that it is not possible to recreate / rebuild the first partition filesystem automatically. I tried, few times, using different options.

There may be a possibility to recover the lost / damaged partition manually, by copying correct "header" (this may not be proper name for it) to the place ...

Hi recuperation;

thanks for the reply; related to the "[New Volume]" as partition name, I have it (the same partition name) on few other discs, where I created partitions same way, the name is "[New Volume]", cause I did not change it, I left it as it was.

Related to the search for it (with a Hex ...
