"Write Error" error
Posted: 18 Mar 2012, 22:57
Hi there!
I have used Testdisk many times to mainly recover partitions that became unavailable on Windows PC's. This time it happened with my USB 1TB hdd that have lost of important info!
The partition shows as RAW on Windows disk management and Windows wants me to format it when i try to access it. I really don't know how this happened because i securely removed the hdd the last time i used it.
Nevertheless, i used testdisk and the same disk appears 3 times. I choose the one that stated "dev/sdd", intel for the partition table (it was formatted as NTFS in Windows 7), analyse, quick search and testdisk shows me the correct partition with my files in it. But when i try to write the partition i got an "Write error" error and i can't do anything else!
I'm now running a deeper search but i'm afraid i could have the same problem at the end! Is there anything else i can do to recover the partition?
PS: Since Testdisk shows me the disk 3 times, if i try other ones i got strange partitions and if i try to go next, Testdisk starts scanning with huge numbers, but i never got to the end...
Please help!! Many thanks!
