USB Flash Drives, etc. CHS don't match LBA
Posted: 02 Mar 2015, 21:14
This started with trying to undelete a short video on a microSD card from a camera. Using two different adapters and Testdisk from Linux Mintmate 17.1.
I get the "CHS don't match LBA" I later discovered out of about a dozen USB flash drives, microSD, SD, etc. I had two that didn't get that error. A brand new Sandisk Cruzer Glilde 8GB and a PNY 128GB USB 3.0 drive. I know these two haven't been formatted again but "not" the rest of them. I know for sure that some have but maybe not all.
I used Gparted right from Linux to partition/format and still got the error. I downloaded, installed Testdisk in W7 and don't get that error but get another but what error escapes me right now.
I have one more thing I want to try and may add to this post later if edits are allowed.
