Recovering data from a windows disk
Posted: 13 May 2018, 19:15
Hi,
when i tried to start my windows laptop some time ago, i got the error "No Bootable Device".
I can't think of any reason what caused this (there was no strange behavior / noises).
This laptop had only windows installed.
I removed the drive and put in a different windows pc.
The disk does not always show up in the disk manager (when it shows up it shows an error).
Diskpart lists the disk but shows the size 0B (it is disk 2: https://postimg.cc/image/m2k3u88kn/)
When i boot Linux (Ubuntu 14) and attach the disk it creates the devices:
/dev/sg0
/dev/bsg/0:0:0:0
/dev/sda
When i run testdisk i get:
The same happens for /dev/sda and photorec
Any ideas what i could try?
Thanks for all help.
