USB drive not recognized by testdisk
Posted: 30 Sep 2015, 15:41
Hi everyone. First off thanks in advance for any help with this.
So I was transferring files from my cameras flash card to this USB key and all seemed well. Next time I tried to load it it asked if I wanted to format the USB.
I did not format it, and after some searches I found photorec.
Here is whats going on.
A drive letter is assigned but the file system is listed as raw. Windows see's the USB key and gives it a drive letter, however when I try to recover the data off of it neither Testdisk or PhotoRec lists this device as something to recover from.
I have tried uninstalling the device from my device manager, and also ejected the media properly a few times with no luck.
Is there any way I can make it visible in photorec to recover the lost files?
Here is screenshot of where I'm at.
Thanks,
Stuart
