Parition write error

#1 Post by rufa11 »

Hello,
I accidentally removed my partition table and i want to recover all the partitions in the HDD (Ubuntu and Windows), i'm using testdisk from Gparted live where i can see all my data after changing the partition type from Unknown to Linux LVM--> ext4 but when i want to write the partition in the disk i get the error message "Partition: write error", below screenshots.
Can someone help me please!
Thanks,

Can you provide the screenshots or better copy/paste the testdisk.log file content ?

There may be a bad sector or an antivirus may block the write operation.
Can you retry with TestDisk 7.1 with your antivirus disabled and copy/paste the testdisk.log file ?
If testdisk is still unable to write the partition table, you should probably clone the disk using ddrescue to a new empty disk. (cf https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.pdf )
