EFI GPT Partition
Posted: 14 Jul 2019, 20:00
Trying to recover a failed external Seagate hard drive. It worked temporarily in TestDisk but now no file structure is present at all. It also says it has a an EFI GPT partition. Not sure how to safely change this to NTFS. I found the following partitions on the drive:
1. P EFI System No HFS or HFS+ structure
2. P Mac HFS
2. P Mac HFS
When I look for a partition in analyze it says
check_FAT: Unusual media descriptor (0xf0!=0xf8)
Warning: number of heads/cylinders mismatches 16 (FAT) != 255 (HDD)
Warning number of se7tors per track mismatches 32 (FAT) ! = 63 (HD)
Not sure what to do at all. I think the hard drive is not syncing because the partition is incorrect somehow. I only had one main partition on this external. I believe it should be NTFS as I'm using a Windows PC machine.
