How to recover partition?

#1 Post by belladaisy2018 »

Hi All:
I have an Edge SSD 128 GB disk that I can't format. Testdisk shows no partition and does not find any backup to recover.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The output of testdisk, Analyze, Quick Search and Deepr Search would have been useful...
You wrote that you tried to format your disk. It means you don't care about the data. If you failed to format the disk, get a new disk, use the warranty if possible.
If you want to recover some data, try PhotoRec.
