Photorec not recognising recovery hard drive
Posted: 22 Mar 2016, 10:09
I have a 2TB drive with bad sectors & I am recovering via Photorec to a new 3TB HD.
This new HD is mounted and running fine. However, files are not recovering to it (I am asked to choose a new location after a pass). If I choose an existing smaller partition on another HD, some files get recovered there no problem, although there is not enough space and eventually I am asked again to choose a new location.
What could be going wrong with my fresh 3TB HD? There should be plenty of space for all required processes. There must be a problem with Photorec writing to the 3TB disk but I cannot work out what that might be. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Photorec 6.14.
Many thanks
