The harddisk seems too small

#1 Post by mauriciogracia »

I am trying to recover a NTFS partition

After the DeeperSearch option is used I am getting this error

Code: Select all

Disk /dev/sda - 640 GB / 596 GiB - CHS 77825 255 63

The harddisk (640 GB / 596 GiB) seems too small! (< 3600 GB / 3353 GiB)
Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...

The following partitions can't be recovered:
     Partition               Start        End    Size in sectors
   Linux                38408  16  9 115518  41 43 1238773760
   Linux                38409 183 47 115519 209 18 1238773760
>  Linux                38410 123 50 115520 149 21 1238773760
   Linux                38411 226 24 115521 251 58 1238773760
   HPFS - NTFS          77824 254 63 141865 254 62 1028818665
   FAT16 <32M           236896 174 39 437737  24 62 3226501239
Is there a way to solve this and recover my NTFS partition ?
