Re: Segmentation error when trying to rebuild BS with TestDisk

TestDisk 7.2-WIP solved the Segmentation problem and I managed to rebuild the BS. However, when I tried to rebuild the MFT, error message was that "MFT and MFT mirror are bad". Is there anything I can do to recover the disk?
Thanks.

Re: Segmentation error when trying to rebuild BS with TestDisk

Eventually found that all I need to do is run sudo ./testdisk_static. No installation needed (I don't think...)

Re: Segmentation error when trying to rebuild BS with TestDisk

Hi

I've been trying to install testdisk-7.2-WIP.linux26-x86_64.tar.bz2.
Extracted it and checked the README.md file.
It advises "To build from source, read [INSTALL](INSTALL)" but I cannot find INSTALL in the folder. Can you help?

Segmentation error when trying to rebuild BS with TestDisk

I've been trying to recover a windows 10 C: drive using Ubuntu 20.04.4 and TestDisk. Drive became RAW for no apparent reason.

Re: Quick formatted HDD and cannot retrieve data

I thought Photorec would only recover photos. What is difference between it and Testdisk?

Quick formatted HDD and cannot retrieve data

Hi

NTFS data disk on Win10 was "Quick" formated and contents were unavailable. Tried Testdisk (Analyse) but data not found, only System Volume Information folder. Tried a test copy of "4DDiG" and data appears to be there but I would like to see if TestDisk can do the job, before I pay for it. Am I ...
