Re: Cannot select partition table type

That's too bad. The disk havn't any SATA port, and it is still under warranty. I don't know what's best from now on. Thank you for your help !

Re: advice on speeding up recovery process

I have a external hard drive whose partition MBR table and tables has been messed up with a fsck.ntfs process I have to kill. The hard drive is 1000GB NTFS. I'd like to fix the partition table and then quickly use fsck again, but it is so slow.

So I launched testdisk and it took a bout half an hour ...
