exfat recovery - again

#1 Post by tomtailford »

So, another mac decided it wanted to some how kill an exfat drive (it shows up as RAW in windows)

Testdisk said "no partition" type, and it successfully displays files - YAY!

As i'm only really concerned about one directory on this drive I copied that to another drive and so far it says: 485 ok, 95700 failed

The amount of "ok files" hasn't increased since 06:16 this morning and its now 07:43 - is it likely it will find any more files?

Weird that it stops all of a sudden??

The log file is approaching 700MB - trying to open right now so I can maybe post some more information

Thanks for any advice in the meanwhile
