3tb seagate changed from NTFS to raw

#1 Post by aonestunt8 »

Hi,
I have been running testdisk on a 3tb seagate hd that changed from NTFS to raw. No idea what caused this but i suspect the intel sata drivers (now uninstalled)
Anyway i have been running the analyse / quicksearch on the drive for a day or so and the pic below is what it shows.

Shall i continue with it ? it shows Mac HFS and Fat .. but the drive is NTFS, one partition so i am unsure what its reporting there

any advice on this ?

PS i dont have another 3TB so i am unable to clone this.

regards

Run TestDisk, Advanced, if you see a single NTFS partition using the whole disk, choose Boot, RebuildBS, List.
If you can see your files, choose Write, confirm, Quit and restart your computer

Hi,

There is no option for Boot .. only Create Image and Quit !
