Part 3 Seagate wont write
Posted: 27 Aug 2014, 23:44
Continuing...
After Deep Search discovers nothing new, try to Write again... Oh, goody. So now I get to the next menu..
Hit enter and...
At this point we are back at the beginning, where hitting enter makes the 3 partitions show up and gives the deep search option etc and I am in a loop of time wasting.
I cannot run CHKDSK as this disc does not have a drive letter. Disc manager shows it as 74.51GB "Unallocated"
I cannot read the files. Windows does not even see the drive outside of the Testdisk program.
I did try to blindly recover files with the Photorec program packed with Testdisk but I gave up after it pulled just under 10K files and the ETA to finish climbed from a beginning figure of 10 1/2 hours up to 31 hours and had only gotten about 40% done. I would much rather repair this drive at least enough to copy the files by hand. Any help would be helpful. Thanks!
