Partition not write after reboot (screenshot+log included)
Posted: 06 Apr 2016, 14:58
Hi All,
I've been trying to get testdisk to write my partition for weeks now. I had an external USB hard drive that had a power supply give out. I took it out of the casing and connected it via SATA cable.
It immediately prompted me to reformat. After some research I came across Testdisk. I have analysed the disk many times and it can read the old partition and I can also copy most files from it. Unfortunately it's about 1.5TB and I'd much prefer to re-write the partition to be like it was. I have not gotten any notifications that the hard drive is bad.
It also worth noting I have no Anti Virus running and I am running TestDisk as an administrator (I'm an IT engineer).
After the multiple hour analyzation takes place I select write and am prompted to reboot. But nothing happens. It did write a small partition after the first time (See screenshot below). But the drive is still prompting for reformatting. What else should I be doing?
Log below.

Any advice would be tremendously appreciated. Thank you all.Tue Mar 29 21:38:38 2016
