Currently it's not possible to resume testdisk search for partitions.

I looks very slow. Do not search partitions inside a partition (ie. D:), but search inside a disk (ie. PhysicalDrive1 under Windows).
Do not select None if you have a single partition.

I in fact had selected g: instead of the phisical drive as both appeared to me in the menu. Hmm will try again the correct way let see if the incompetents on my power grid can manage to deal source for 3 days nonstop. :roll:

This time at 90% microsoft decided to push an automatic updated with a forced restart iwth a stupid 5 minutes warning.

This tecnofascism is becoming redonkulous, feeding up users like that.
