Hi All -
I have a 400GB FAT32 external disk w/ one partition.
It looks like the FAT32 boot sector has been corrupted. TestDisk finds only one partition of size 1GB.
I am trying to rebuild the boot sector using Advanced -> Boot.
The backup boot sector looks OK using Dump, but TestDisk doesnt provide the [Backup BS] option because the size of the partition is greater then the size of the 1 partition that it does find from the corrupted boot sector.
Is there a way to force TestDisk to overwrite the boot sector from the backup?
See screenshot attached. (Ignore the size - Im working w/ a copy I made to a 1TB disk using dd)
Thanks for any advice!
