I think , I have understood what you mean by "forcing" , it was giving me a false-positive in a way. Thanks for correcting me.

I think I have been not good in explaining what exactly I mean by error. Here are my steps

I run testdisk_win
select CREATE for log
Select Drive c:
Select intel partition
Goto analyze

Then I get this see attach

Also, when In second last option if i select "none" the structure is shown as ...

I know but I want to know the error i showed above in original post, does it need to be fixed first?

Sorry for late reply. No I don't remember writing anything to E: drive. Should I worry about the overlapping issue will it effect recovery in any way?

I have recently recovered from CRYPTWALL 3.0 infection on laptop to the point that it is no longer infecting new files/folders/dir.

I got to read lot of reviews on testdisk/photorec ability to recover the files (original) that were deleted by the CRYPTWALL 3.0. I run the photorec on my C:\ drive ...

If there are bad sectors, you must clone the disk first:

The output of both commands

./ddrescue -n /dev/old_disk /dev/new_disk rescued.log
# then try to recover as much of the dicy areas as possible:
./ddrescue -r 1 /dev/old_disk /dev/new_disk ...

Ok I will clone using ddrescue and get back to you. Would it not making any difference if testdisk cannot locate any portions as of yet?

TestDisk 6.14, I have tried to repair WDC ROM MODEL-SCORPIO and the repair was unsuccessful due to "read errors". I have attached testdisk.log as well.

I think this is due to fact i cannot find any disk part to repair or fix.

Where should i go about now? Any clues , suggestion thanks.
