Recovering files to a different hard drive
Posted: 12 Aug 2016, 14:50
Hi guys. I need a bit of help.
I have a drive I am trying to recover. It's 500Gb.
I have another 2Tb drive which is empty waiting to copy the files to using test disk.
I am booting test disk off of a 16Gb USB stick.
Now here is the problem, due to the size of data I am trying to recover, I need to copy it to the 2Tb but can't find a way of mounting it to receive the files. I seem to only be able to recover to the 16Gb USB. When going back directories it gives you a drive list but as the 2Tb isn't mounted, I cant select it as a destination.
I thought about running test disk off of the 2Tb but for the life of me I can't figure out how to make the 2Tb DOS bootable with the NTFS file system.
Any ideas on what I should do?
