Copy recovered file to another Device?
Posted: 16 Sep 2013, 21:09
Hi,
I'm new to using testDisk and linux... i'm very happy to say that i can find the files i'm trying to recover from my faulty external WD book. now my issue is that i'm trying to recover many files, and TestDisk doesn't seem to give me the option of copying the 'found' files to another device other than what i presume is the virtual linux (from usb). The USB actually has 64gb, but i seem to be running in a 'virtual' space of only 1.7gb.
So two problems.
1. if i could copy the files that TestDisk finds to another device (it does see other devices when i first start it.) but seems like it only allows me to copy it to that virtual space.
2. i don't know why i'm running in what i think is a 1.7gb virtual linux. I'm using Hiren's boot CD. Is there a way that if TestDisk can only copy to the OS'es device, then how can i make that virtual space bigger from the get go? i have a 64gb usb drive that it doesn't seem to be able to use!
thanks for your help!
