Unsure which disk to scan
Posted: 04 Nov 2013, 08:34
Morning,
A little overview on what situation i'm in. I have installed visualized my home machine to start studying my MCSE. After visualizing my home server. i started to copy my data from an external disk to my newly created VM lun. The enclosure i was using had power failure so i went out and bought another. I connected the Disk to my server however Windows 7 and Linux Mint can no longer view the Disk. Its asking to be formatted. Majority of my data copied fine but the files i really needed (my travelling pictures from last year) did not copy over, typical to my luck.
After googling for a while i found the majority of people suggest using Testdisk to recover the partition.
None of the guides ive seen online show the disks like mine...
As you can see i have 3 options for my disk.. Which one do i select?
I tried the top one and did a quick scan however wasnt successful. Maybe its the wrong one?
I have checked and i get 'Bad' for both sectors when looking.
Can anybody help please?
