Hi;Thank you for letting me in the forum. This is my first time to use TestDisk.
I have an old 500G HDD with two partitions. Few days ago, I encountered an error "Drive E is not accessible error. The file directory is corrupted and unreadable" on 1 out of two partitions. I came across TestDisk and tried to use it. I can see all the directories and files through the command "LIST". I tried using Rebuild BS and Repair MFT but still the partition is not accessible.
I would like to ask your help on how to make the partition accessible again.
Many thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions and help.

Re: partition not accessible
Once having access to valid file and folder content I would immediately backup this content to another drive. I would try Windows chkdsk afterwards after having duplicated the drive because you can't revert the chkdsk operation. After the chkdsk operation I would see if the drives becomes accessible through Windows.
Be careful not to use the broken chkdsk command of Windows 10!
