Bad XBOX partiton, Invalid Signature

#1 Post by sdh91075 »

Trying to fix my son's Xbox 360 usb flash drive, it's an original xbox flash drive that is 16gb.
When plugged in to the xbox it asked to be formatted when it already is, plugged into a pc it asks to be formatted. When running check disk on pc it says it's RAW. Ran testdisk and get bad xbox partition, invalid signature. Is there anyway to fix this? Tried doing internet search and came up with no leads.

here is save log from scan

simulate write!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Really don't want to lose any of the stuff saved on drive since some of it can no longer be reacquired.

Its probably a physical/electronic problem as the disk is listed as 64MB only.
No solution except contacting a data recovery company.
Sorry
