"All ok" but Test Disk fails
Posted: 01 Dec 2017, 23:07
Hello,
Had a crash (PC suck), after that CHKDSK was executed. It got stuck at phase 2 at 43%, started again, but never finished.
I removed the HDD and connected it to another PC, but the computer tells me I have to format it (no access in Explorer).
With the program "GetDataBack" I can access the data within 2 minutes, all files are available. But: The results cannot be written to disk (NTFS table or MBR or whatever it is called)
TestDisk does an analysis and but says "it's corrupted/destroyed". But there was no option to recover it.
Tried other programs, but they don't work either.
Then I tried the option "write test MBR" but now TestDisk finds even fewer partitions - GetDataBack works as well as before.
I've copied all the files now, but I hope I can avoid formatting it and install everything from scratch again. So I would prefer to repair this HDD because everything is still accessible. The HDD SMART values are all OK. However, CHKDSK can not delete an entry and can not continue.
Can someone explain what I need to restore that? Can not be that hard if GetDataBack did so fast and finds everthing.
Greetings and thanks, otherwise I have to format everything again and make it new.
