No Partition is Bootable ?
Posted: 01 Dec 2016, 22:01
Hi guys - I hope you can help me solve a problem with my External HD.
I have a 1TB Bufflao HD which is nearly full (931 Mb)
It has a power lead and USB connector
It does not appear in the My Computer directory list, but I can see it in Control Panel/.../Disc Management. It shows as Healthy (Unknown Partition) but has no directory letter (e.g H:\) and I am unable to allocate one in the options menu. The only option available is Delete Partition which I am reluctant to do.
I have tried TestDisk 7.0 (thanks!) and ran the fist few steps. as follows:
Create new log file
Select disk form menu (it appears in the list OK)
Intel
Analyse
It says Bad Relative Sector. No Partition is Bootable.
I don't know what that means, or what to do next. Is there any way I can recover the data on the disk?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
