getting a bad structure when its supposed to be OK
Posted: 16 Feb 2020, 22:55
Hi guys,
i upgraded my desktop, and while plugging my old hard drive in my new computer, i cant acces all my partitions anymore.
My old hard drive was partionned in 3 partiions, one system (bootable) and 2 datas (Hugo and datas)
After plugging it in my new desktop, the hugo partition is not showing anymore
when i run testdisk, i can find it, but i would like to set all my partitions as Primary or the "system" one as "*" but as soon as i approach the configuration i would like, i get a "bad structure"
here is a configuration where it works, and one where it doesnt but that i would like ....
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance
