Re: External HDD formatted in error Boot Camp install gone w

Thanks. I took it to a friend at the first of the year, and have been recovering from his help since - renaming mp3 files, etc., removing duplicates, deleting files I did not need, searching for the passwords file that was on there but never turned up again.

The software organized the recovered ...

Re: External HDD formatted in error Boot Camp install gone w

I guess that was the quick analysis.

Deeper is now running. I'll be back when it is finished to report.

Re: External HDD formatted in error Boot Camp install gone w

I ran testdisk again, and selected Apple for disk format. This time it ran in a day, morning to afternoon, and the log seems much smaller.

Re: External HDD formatted in error Boot Camp install gone w

No, and a search of the log for "10 GB" returned Not Found result.

I copied the log to a Textedit document, zipped it and attached it here.

Will that help at all? Do I need to run testdisk again, with some other settings enables/active?

Thank you for all your help with this.

Re: External HDD formatted in error Boot Camp install gone w

So, it is not yet finished with it's deep analysis, but I thought you might be able to make a suggestion based on this info. It is nor about 87% of the way through this process, ans I expect it will likely finish tonight while I am in my GIS class. I am looking forward to hearing what input you may ...

Re: External HDD formatted in error Boot Camp install gone w

Yes. This will take a little while. I am running a Deeper analysis atm. It is at ~57% after about 36 hours.

When it finishes, I shall follow up. It will be at least, I estimate, 24 hours from now before I am able to comply.

Thank you very much for your time and interest.

Partitions gone missing due to user error in Boot Camp

I have a problem, stemming from a bad decision I made based on my own ignorance.

I need help recovering the File Headers, which I hope will allow me to recover the two partitions and all the files in those partitions. One was a large (990 GB) Macintosh Journaled partition (Crime Scene), not case ...
