External HDD - Cannot Mount/Open
Posted: 24 Feb 2016, 08:05
First of all million thanks for all of the support and the amazing tool you have there!
I have an external HDD 1TB, that as it appears failed to be successfully removed or sth. Have not faced any disk crash or hardware issue. So i assume this is the case.
I was first trying testdisk from linux but switched over to Win in the case i had an issue with NTFS formatting.
The thing is:
F:\ is not accessible
The parameter is incorrect.
In Disk Mgmt i have 931,25 GB RAW, Healthy (Active, Primary Partition). 100% Free space.
To testdisk now, i choose the disk and gives as a Hint: None. I assume this should not be choose as it is a NTFS for sure. However if i choose it (none) in analyze i get:
P NTFS - 0 0 1 121601 253 63 1953536067
Afterwards i run a quick search and get two partitions with green colour:
P NTFS 0 0 1 121601 79 62 1953525104 - Structure OK - NTFS blocksize=4096, 1000GB/931GB
P NTFS 0 31 33 121601 79 63 1953523120 - Structure OK - NTFS found using backup sector NTFS blocksize=4096, 1000GB/931GB
The list files in the first partition gives: Cant open fiesystem. Filesystem seems damaged.
The list files in the second partition gives: No File found, filesystem may be damaged.
Any thoughts? Should i first start choosing the Intel Table type?
PS. Let me know if you want screenshots
PS2. Can i be trying in Linux or should i remain in Win?
