check_FAT: Bad jump in FAT partition - Please help

#1 Post by wacho »

Hi you guys, I`m in a bit of trouble here, I have this disk that I need to recover info from, it was reformated and all, so I started searching and discovered (I said discovered, because I am not a linux guy) Testdisk, tried it and liked it so much that I even repartioned my computer to have linux on it as well, I went with Ubuntu, and I tried Testdisk and searching for the partition that I need I think it found it but it says check_FAT: Bad jump in FAT partition, and I think that`s the partition I`m looking for because I remember I had my disks with fat32 filesystem, so please if you could help me. what can I do to recover the partition?
