RAW HDD Quick Search Hang
Posted: 14 Mar 2013, 05:53
Hi, I am new to TestDisk and was hoping someone would be able to help me out here.
The problem I am having is that my 1TB external hard drive is recognized as RAW and my laptop keeps asking me to format the drive. What I hope to do is rescue all of the files on this drive, which from reading the other threads/ posts, many have been able to accomplish. I follow the steps exactly but when i hit quick search it shows it at 100% but just hangs with no freezes or errors. Here are the imgs of the steps I am taking if they help.
Thank you very much in advance for any advice/ help you can provide!
From here I can't even stop the search and it continues to hang.
