TestDisk: Undelete (and Superblock) not showing up as options

#1 Post by n8carrier »

I'm following the ext2 undelete guide: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk ... e_for_ext2. After selecting advanced, I get to the screen to choose the partition. However, at the bottom I only have the options "Type", "Image Creation", and "Quit". Undelete is missing, as well as Superblock. I'm running TestDisk 7.0 through GParted Live. Any ideas how to access the undelete option?

You can force the partition type to Linux ext2/3/4 if needed.
