Hello everybody,
one day my daughter's notebook didn't boot into Windows 10 but only into EFI shell. I found and tried for the first time TestDisk utility. I would like to ask you guys whether what I see in the log means the disk is dead.
I booted from a USB stick and tried Analyze PC/Intel 62GB eMMC disk - only to get timeout messages.
Log is at https://1drv.ms/t/s!AoZFBxC-urV2mw1fhP5FA_KJdEBd as I wasn't able to attach a txt file over here.
Thank you!
Does this mean the disk is dead?

Re: Does this mean the disk is dead?
You can try to clone the disk to a new empty one using ddrescue from a Linux USB key as described in https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.pdf
but it doesn't look good. You may have to contact a data recovery company.
