Repair BS with MFT
Posted: 11 May 2012, 19:44
Hi there, first time posting.
I have a WD mypassport that appears to have a corrupt or missing filesystem. It only ever had
one partition.
Boot Sector Status: Bad
Backup Boot Sector Status: Bad
I used photorec and I CAN pull .jpgs and .movs from the hard drive (this is what I am wanting to recover)
I stopped it however because I want to rebuild the BS.
If I use "Rebuild BS" using the MFT, will the end result be a drive I can access with windows explorer
with all file names and folder structures retained? This is provided that testdisk finds the MFT and
is able to rebuild the Boot Sector.
