Mac file recover Toshiba external hard drive
Posted: 07 Oct 2013, 20:14
I unwittingly deleted some photos before they were transferred to the external hard drive from iphoto.
Trying to recover but not sure how to do it.
There is a back up file for the system in the .trashes folder on the external hard drive however this is light gray and I cannot save it to the desktop as the start up disk is full.
When I start up PhotoRec there are four options: >Disk/dev/disk2-1000 GB/931GiB (RO); >Disk/dev/disk3-1000 GB/931GiB (RO), >Disk/dev/rdisk2-1000 GB/931GiB (RO), >Disk/dev/rdisk3-1000 GB/931GiB (RO).
I am unsure what these disks are and am unsure of how to proceed.
I would either like to retrieve the photos from the Mac hard drive or the back up files from the external hard drive.
Advice?
Thank you.
