Hi Fiona et al
I used PhotoRec but only a handful of .mov files can actually play. The vast majority of the files are corrupted somehow - they do not play. Is there any way to have PhotoRec extract files that work? It took it about 2 full days to extract them. Any advice?
Thanks

Re: Partition can't be recovered! Any advice? Thanks.
Hi there guys
I used PhotoRec and set it to search only .mov files.
The type of files recovered were like these:
f2157282_ftyp.mov
f2252524_wide.mov
f2796883_moov.mov
f4686870_free.mov
They do not open except for some of the _ftyp.mov files.
Do you have any advice?
Kindest regards
Cathal

Hi Fiona,
A final question. Should I work on the original drive that had the data or the one I have cloned? I have been using the cloned drive so that if any mistake happens, I still have the original drive as it was when the disaster happened.
Kindest regards

Re: Partition can't be recovered! Any advice? Thanks.
Hi Fiona,
Thanks for getting back to me. I have made no progress since. I will first answer your questions:
Would it be possible that you've had only a Mac-partition?
Yes. At least I think it is only a Mac partition. I always format my drives as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in Disk Utility.
Please ...

Hi guys
I have tried to follow your advice but I do not seem to get anywhere. I ran a deep scan on the HFS partition and this was the result:
Disk /dev/disk1 - 2000 GB / 1863 GiB - 488378645 sectors (RO)
The harddisk (2000 GB / 1863 GiB) seems too small! (< 2009 GB / 1871 GiB)

Hi there everyone,
I see on the forum that you have been of great assistance to a number of people who have problems with data recovery. I'm hoping you can give me some advice on how best to use TestDisk. I'm not a whizzkid by any means so I apologize in advance if what I did seems stupid - I know ...
