Second partition not accessible after hibernation, shown raw
Posted: 16 Dec 2015, 20:37
In the column "File System" in computer management for I: is shown "RAW" and no problems, for C: still is displayed "NTFS": http://i.imgur.com/0NngltF.jpg.
How could I recover the files / repair the drive? There are over a million files on I: so it would be could if the folder structure would be kept.
The drive letter(s) of the partition kept staying the same like before, and the partition C: obviously kept staying untouched, completely working.
Can or should I (better chances?) generally disassemble the internal drive and put it in its original enclosure I disassembled it from and then connect it with a USB 3.0 connection to repair the partition with TestDisk / Chkdsk and / or try to recover the data with a recover program? The Notebook with the defect drive runs instable and causes corrupted files when copying / moving them to an external drive.
When I try to repair (with TestDisk or Chkdsk using “CHKDSK I: /f /v /r /x” of Win7) the defect partition, will there be anything (my own data / own files) that will be overwritten then? So, is there any risk to lose data irreversibly, to make files unrecoverable? So should I do a recovery before I start any command just for safety reasons (if the command fails and files are overwritten irreversibly)?
PhotoRec mainly is useful to recover images, but it recovers files with other extensions also (I would have supposed regarding its name it is designed to just recover fotos)? About 2 to 5 % of my (lost) files are images. So should I use it at all? And if yes, should I use the command line version (qphotorec_win.exe) or the Win version (photorec_win.exe). Does PhotoRec keep the file structure?
