Recovering Partition after Deeper Search
Posted: 11 Nov 2014, 00:03
Hi guys, I humbly request your assistance on something.
After 50 hours of Deeper Search I was able to find the partition I meant to recover, but I could only change its status from Deleted to Primary, which I did. Then in the partition table only appeared one primary partition which I suppose was the one I meant to recover, so I hit Write and confirmed till the end. After rebooting, my PC is now displaying only a blinking underscore. Is it doing all right? How long could it take (The partition held 200 GB)?
If this is normal, another problem may come up: in the partition I'm trying to recover there's no OS. So I was wondering if it's going to overwrite the current OS with whom I launched TestDisk. If it is, will I be able to access my files as to backup them on an external strage?
Your help would be greatly appreciated, I'm panicking since 2 days ago.
