Can't Restore Backup Boot Sector
Running TestDisk 6.14 and after finding the partition through a Deeper Search, I am told that the Boot Sector is BAD but the Backup is OK. I move to restore the "Backup" Boot Sector, press Enter and the screen recycles to the same status of Bad / OK and does not seem to overwrite the BAd with the OK backup file.
Re: Can't Restore Backup Boot Sector
It may be because of write error on your disk. when rebuilding BS, are you able to list your files ? If yes, try to backup from testdisk important files. Check your disk health and consider making a bit to bit copy before to work on this disk copy.
Re: Can't Restore Backup Boot Sector
Windows would not check the disk as the system had previously reverted to RAW.
I tried to rebuild the Boot Sector in TestDisk and things went from bad to worse because it would not reboot after that.
Everything was resolved though after I booted from the CD and restored the Boot Sector from the CD.
