Christophe,

I was able to try 6.13, but got the same result. I could not find a download for 6.14-WIP, but previously, 6.14 and 7.0 also did not work. And yes, it happens for both TestDisk and PhotoRec.

Were you able to try it on a laptop?

Oops, sorry Christophe. I did not see the reply because it was on page 2.

I'll try those 2 versions in the next day or so.

No reply yet.

Fiona?

A side question - I read a comment somewhere that SSD's behave differently from a standard disk drive when a partition is deleted. As in, being able to recover it with data recovery tools will be more difficult, if not impossible. Can anyone comment?

Just trying to judge how much it is worth it to ...

Nope, 7.0 also gives the same error for me.

BTW, photorec also gives the same error (in both versions).

FYI, when I'm in recovery mode on the macbook pro, I see in a log file that this is 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). So, even though Mavericks was last installed, it was originally shipped with ML.

Oops, I pasted the wrong link. 6.14 is the one I tried. I'll try 7.0 when I get home tonight.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't even get a chance to enter "EFI GPT" for the partition type. The program doesn't execute.

Unless you're referring to running the powerpc binary as opposed to the intel. I correctly downloaded the intel one (http://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk-7.0-WIP.mac_intel.tar.bz2 ...

Getting same "Illegal instruction: 4" error in Terminal in Mountain Lion recovery mode.

Cannot proceed. Any suggestions?
