Partition can't be recovered error
Posted: 01 Feb 2017, 18:07
Hello, I was trying to recover my internal hard disk 500 GB after it has stopped my laptop from booting, it was appearing as "dynamic" and "invalid" in windows disk management (on other computer), and by using testdisk, I was able to recover all partitions, except for the largest one 350 GB non-primary partition.
I tried quick search, deeper search, but it says in both cases:
TestDisk 7.0, Data Recovery Utility, April 2015
Christophe GRENIER <grenier@cgsecurity.org>
http://www.cgsecurity.org
Disk /dev/sdb - 500 GB / 465 GiB - CHS 60801 255 63
The harddisk (500 GB / 465 GiB) seems too small! (< 618 GB / 575 GiB)
Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...
The following partition can't be recovered:
Partition Start End Size in sectors
> HPFS - NTFS 29473 154 58 75171 219 56 734142464
[ Continue ]
NTFS, blocksize=4096, 375 GB / 350 GiB
And here is a screen shot of the error:
I can not even get an image of it as it is not listed with the other partitions in Advanced list.
I want to know if there is a way to recover this partition as I have done with the other partitions, please give me your advice...
