Testdisk failing to read image file

#1 Post by VikingCop »

Hi.

I'm trying to undelete/recover all .avi-files (RIFF family) from an image I have.
I have copied the "testdisk-7.0" folder to the same directory that holds my image.
The image file "Seagate 2000" is divided in several E*-files, a total of 955 files, from E01 to FGX.

When trying to run testdisk (as an administrator) with this syntax:
testdisk_win.exe Seagate 2000.E01
I get the reply from Windows:
"File not found".

I try with testdisk_win.exe "Seagate 2000.E01"
Reply: "The file name is not valid".

I change the hyphens - testdisk_win.exe 'Seagate 2000.E01'
Reply: "File not found".

I have even tried testdisk_win.exe Seagate 2000.E* with no results.

What am I missing here??

Any suggestions?
