My external drive has turned "raw" and been corrupted.
Testdisk cabt read the boot sector of backup boot sector, both are bad.
But when I rebuild BS, I can see my files listed.
BUt, when I try to write... I get this error:
Write error: Cant write new FAT boot sector
IS there a way round this error?
Or, I guess it looks like if my files are listed I could potentially copy them across to another drive from the extenral drive to the computer drive?
Thanks for any help.

Re: Write error: Cant write new FAT boot sector
If writing to your external disk is not possible (defective SSD inside?!) try to copy all files from your external disk to another location.
