External Segate 500GB NTFS
Posted: 16 Jan 2014, 09:43
So I'm trying to repair my external drive or at least recover the partition and I can't seem to get anything to work right, I even tried to to dd the partition and mount in Linux, but no avail.
Analysis of Drive
I've done "quick scan" and "deeper scan" but nothing seems to give me the option to write. The original system was an NTFS external drive (plugged into Linux it is read as NTFS, but won't mount and Windows wants to Format it. In TestDisk it says "Hint: choose none" when I go to examine the drive. I also tried running the drive as an Intel setting. Nothing bares fruit, can someone help me please ?
I created a dd of both partitions (72 and 74) and both returned "Image created successfully but read errors have occurred."
I tried to mount the image.dd files (but they're RAW) in Ubuntu and continually receive:
I also tried to use OSFMount to mount them, but again it says no file system structure and I can't access the image files.
I have tried every method I could think of and the internet's knowledge database, but nothing.
