Help! Another noob in the Forum
Posted: 12 Jan 2016, 07:31
Hi everyone i am trying to get assistance on using this program. I read the basic manual but i am just not that bright, sorry if you answer these questions all the time.
My laptop crashed and i took out the hard drive and plugged it in my desktop so i can recover important files that i need. I tried searching for the files with Photorec but all i get is hundreds of folders and i cant seem to find the word documents that i am looking for. All i get is a bunch of files that wont open in word, so i am here now trying out TestDisk but i am currently stuck not knowing what to do next.
Here is the drive i am trying to work on:
http://gdurl.com/g8xsY
All drives circle are one drive and the partition that is very important to me is H: were the OS and my files are installed.
So i ran Tesdisk in the following manner:
First i selected my drive. http://gdurl.com/4ho4
Second i selected Intel/Pc as my partition: http://gdurl.com/DlXZ
Third i selected analyse. http://gdurl.com/ZSd7
Forth i clicked on quick search. http://gdurl.com/HGFh
after quick search i was introduce with this http://gdurl.com/2SKe
then i changed it to this http://gdurl.com/tlKf I am not sure if that is correct, but i did not hit WRITE
instead i did a deeper search http://gdurl.com/oRsj
it then started running for about an hour+ http://gdurl.com/XQim
once it was done i got to this part http://gdurl.com/1hy1 so i hit continue
and then i am stuck here http://gdurl.com/mbHG So i dont know what to do next
all i really want is to get into partition H: of the drive so i can retrieve all my documents that i need. Please let me know if this is possible with this software and if so please show me how. Thanks in advance for any help provided.
