Hi Fiona
Used TestDisk 7.1 WIN
This is the partition structure that I remember as being the correct one as I have partioned this HDD":
Disk /dev/sdb - 1000 GB / 931 GiB - CHS 15200 255 63
Current partition structure:
Partition Start End Size in sectors
Invalid NTFS or EXFAT boot
1 * HPFS - NTFS 0 1 1 15138 53 41 243195287
1 * HPFS - NTFS 0 1 1 15138 53 41 243195287
Invalid NTFS or EXFAT boot
2 P HPFS - NTFS 15138 62 29 27886 116 6 204800000
2 P HPFS - NTFS 15138 62 29 27886 116 6 204800000
Invalid NTFS or EXFAT boot
3 P HPFS - NTFS 27886 116 7 121600 254 63 1505524161
3 P HPFS - NTFS 27886 116 7 121600 254 63 1505524161
Why does TestDisk come up with
Disk /dev/sdb - 1000 GB / 931 GiB - CHS 15200 255 63
Partition Start End Size in sectors
>* HPFS - NTFS 1892 71 36 3485 205 48 25600000
P HPFS - NTFS 3485 205 49 15200 35 3 188190720
I need to be able to recover some files on the partition #1 of the first list.
How can this be done?
Log attached.
