Deeper Search "sees" old partition name but can't restore it
Posted: 13 Nov 2014, 15:16
Hi, I have a disk with a FAT and a NTFS partitions. I am trying to recover the FAT partition that was probably accidentally reformatted by a TV decoder. I tried testdisk Linux 64 bit version, downloaded from the wiki:
After selecting Analyze I see:
Quick search gives:
The labed DISCOSMASH! was probably added by default by the TV decoder when accidentally formatting the partition. Clicking P it shows just the $RECYCLE.BIN file. My partition was previously labeled Video and had many files in it. Indeed when I try a Deeper Search I can see it while searching:
However when the Deeper search finishes I cannot see anymore the Video partition which I want to recover, I just see this:
So how can I recover my lost Video partition and its files?
Thanks in advance for this great tool
