Recovering from local to external HDD... but can't find it
Posted: 17 Sep 2013, 20:25
Hey there,
I'm trying to recover lost partitions from a laptop HDD to an external HDD connected via USB, but when I need to select a destination I can not find the external HDD. I see all the drive letters (A through Z), but when I select one, I see a list of files (mostly .sys files) and a map called tools containing photorec.exe. I see this for every drive I select (A through Z). Peculiar this is that the drive letter doesn't get appended to the "directory" at the top of the menu.
For clarification, I'm using Hiren's Boot CD to launch PhotoRec. And it does see the external HDD when I have to select a drive from which to recover.
I hope someone can help me further.
