TestDisk Windows Version Analyzing Linux Disk
Posted: 27 Feb 2017, 20:50
I have a two disk dual boot system running WinXP and Lubuntu. The 20 GB Linux disk is healthy and I am just learning how to use TestDisk 7.0. I run the Linux version of TestDisk from Lubuntu and the Windows version of TestDisk from WinXP.
The partition structure of the Linux disk is reported as different in the two cases. The Windows version reports errors as shown below.
Is the Windows version of TestDisk only intended for Windows systems? It appears that I should be running under Linux for analysis of the Linux disk.
Thanks for any help.
