Please help me to understand the log and to solve the proble
Posted: 02 Nov 2013, 16:37
First thank you in advance for your help. Here is my problem :
I was trying to consolidate data between external hard drives, so I copied data from external drive A to external drive B (My Book - 3 TB) ... then I realized that the copy process was not moving at the fast pace, I decided to pull the plug of the USB drives ... After that the drive B (3 TB Western Digital drive) can no longer read. It has the common error message as "You want to format the drive"
Normally, I would be able to use chkdsk e: /r /f to correct those issue, however this time it said that the master file table is corrupt, it tried to recover from disk however it does not help.
Now I use the testdisk-win and it show the output ...

Note that the hard drive contains mostly media file, and it is for Windows 7 ... I have no idea why it show some Linux partition here ...
Could you please help me to understand what is going on and to provide the solution how I can recover this partition nicely ... It seems that I can recover files, however with 3 TB of data, it is a total mess ..
Thank you
ps : How do I attach the testdisk.log file here ???
