Destination folder confusion
Posted: 27 Apr 2012, 09:50
Hi, please bear with me, I hope I explain myself properly. During a windows 7 update, something went horribly wrong.
The upshot is all my partitions except one has gone, including the entire OS partition. The one partition remaining has now expanded to the size of the HD. I have tried to save it using TestDisk, to no avail, so now Im trying to save my missing files using PhotoRec.
My problem is, I cant work out how to save the found files to my external HD. (as now the remaining partition is the entire HD, I cant save back to there).
I did read on this forum something about not being able to save to a NTFS and needing a different type of boot disc?
Could someone please explain, using very small words, how I save my files to my external HD?
Thank you.
