files unopenable after GUI file recovery
Posted: 03 Feb 2013, 03:08
I got my friend's WD20EARX 2TB sata HDD, which he wanted to repartition (because he found some unallocated space on it but minor to 2tb..) but unfortunately the power was gone during partitioning, and the datas were gone.
After that, he tried to use some windows GUI file recovery program, he recovered his file and directory tree to this particular hdd, but the files are unopenable. Now i got the HDD, tried testdisk, but after Quick Search it says
"The harddisk (2000 GB / 1863 GiB) seems too small! (<4000GB / 3725 GiB)
Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...
The following partition can't be recovered:"
it has EFI GPT partition table, now I'm running Deeper Search, but it taking sooo long.
so far the output:
