Testdisk to recover "lost" files form 4TB ext HDD
Posted: 15 Nov 2013, 22:33
Well, since I was stupid enough to pull (an unrelated) usbstick while my ext hdd was busy copying something to my intern hdd and therefore ejected itself I lost quite some data.
To put this in perspective:
Space the Harddrive is "showing as used"
=> ~3,30 TB SHOULD be used...
Space actually seen when calculating all of it together:
=> about 600 GB seem to be "Lost" (they ARE on the disk however the files are not there, empty folders where files used to be).
I tried using testdisk which usually helped me in such cases:
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]
The problem now however is the reproted
"disk too small issue"
Is there any way I can copy ALL of the found files to another disk perhpas ?
I have another 4TB ready for migrating files over.
Except if there is a way to fix this without using that disk.
Thanks in advance to those of you who know more about testdisk than I do
