Lots of partitions / no primary / hard to restore
Posted: 27 Nov 2015, 13:25
Hello, dear community.
I have a Sony Vaio SVE1713C5E, Windows 8.1 64-bit, Intel i7
PRESTORY
- During the use of windows, a blue screen showed up -> Reboot.
- During Reboot, message "No Operating System found" showed up
- Reinstalling Windows didn't succeed as it said hard disk (or partition, I don't remember) would be locked
- MS DOS check said, hard disk is fine, showed 3 PARTITIONS of which the first one was lebelled "RAW" and the rest NFTS
TESTDISK
- Loading external Ubuntu and running Testdisk
- Size of hard disk labelled correctly
- EFI GPT partition map recognized -> chosen -> analyse
- showed 8 PARTITIONS -> Quick search
see here: http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/i/lv3e-1-6787.png
- 3 PARTITIONS were green highlighted, the rest were white. In these green partitions, there is not my hard disk data I was looking for and want to restore -> Deep scan
- See here: http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/i/lv3e-2-2473.png
- Deep scan found numerous partitions; I didn't "continue" at this point.
- See here: http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/i/lv3e-4-04ed.png
...and here: http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/i/lv3e-3-2bef.png
Here's the result of another rescue attempt: http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/i/lv3e-5-15bb.png
Still, everything is untouched. I didn't edit my disk yet; just checked responses from the program.
ISSUES/QUESTIONS
- Besides the numerous partitions, it looks like that there is no "primary partition" ( none is declared with 0 1 on top of the table).
- Assuming, that green highlighted means restoring, I do can set one partition with a big size (guessing that there's my data) by the left/right arrows. Is that effective? However, when I highlighted it, I can not check for the included files.
- I also tried the ADVANCED tools, but there was no perspective to improve something.
- One guy had the strategy to go to ADVANCED and declare his (in that case external) hard drive as " none partitioned media" and restore the boot sector. After, he could list his data and save them to another device. Is that a try worth?
- By trying things with TESTDISK, is all that reversible? Or can I mess up things more and irreversible when I choose the wrong strategy?
I'd thank you so much if you can help me.
