SOLVED - RAW, No Partition Found or Selected for Recovery

#1 Post by mrboydmath »

First time user; I have been trying to find someone who had posted an exact match of my situation, but, because this disk is the only place I have my kids' pictures and videos on, I don't want to fark it all up. (I had them on two drives, but I had to reformat one while I was upgrading software and reinstalling the operating system...unfortunately for me, my backup hard drive thought this would be a perfect time to go RAW on me.)

The log file is below. I have tried to write twice already with no luck. I have just started a deeper search, but it is going to take over two hours if it continues at the same speed it seems to be going. I will post the log of this afterwards.

Please tell me what to do to get this thing to behave normally again. Thank you in advance if you can help me:

Disregard, problem has been solved. Can't figure out how to delete this post, otherwise I would. Running Chkdsk repair ended up doing the trick.
