Hi All
I have been successfully restored my drive data using the diskinternals tool, though test disk wasnt able to repair my MFT while my BS is ok.
today 3 fdays later my restored drive suffered from same issue!!!
what is going on?
I tried td again BS states as ok but MFT repair fails corrupted.
my HW is old gigabyte motherboard with AHCI disks on bios.
formerly disks was raided on software raid onboard gigabyte which failed.
today my restored destination was sitting on the intel AHCI onboard controller.
WTF!!!???
