Help: Lacie ext USB NTFS filesystem suddenly damaged. Boot sector repaired using Testdisk but got worse..
Posted: 15 Oct 2019, 06:00
My Lacie ext USB 4T drive has two main partitions under GTP:
NTFS filesystem (F:)and a Macos HFS for Timemachine
Yesterday the NTFS partition suddenly damaged while watching a video file from F: disk then halt. Disk shows "RAW format" all the time after that halt.
Googled and resort to testdisk....
I tried quick intel scan and it says the "Boot sector" is bad.
Check the manual 7.4 tells that can try repaired using Testdisk 7.4 Repairing FAT32,exFAT and NTFS boot sector using TestDisk
Original good GPT partition is like ""EFI(200mb)---NTFS(3.6TB)---MAC.HFS(300G)""
before repair GPT partition is like ""EFI(200mb)---RAW(3.6TB)---MAC.HFS(300G)""
but after Repairing NTFS boot sector with a valid backup from I don't know where (but seems not identical) recover, my drive has gotten worse..
use Aomei partition check(which opens much longer time than usual)
After repair GPT partition is like "" Unformatted (2.0TB)---Unallocated Space(1.6TB)"" WTF???!!!
Shit!! Have I got fooled?? Is that a desperate situation for my data/ disk?
Please some kind people do advice what to do !!! Thank you!
