Hello,
My 1TB drive ended up not bootable and the largest partition (OS) came up as RAW. I'm in the middle of running Testdisk analysis on it and one of the partitions came up as "MAC NFS" with some "Number of head/cylinder mismatches." Why would it be seeing a MAC partition and can it be set back to NTFS? The system I had the drive in was new from Dell and only had Windows OS. Thanks, Base ----

Re: Windows Machine Showing MAC NFS During Analysis
Some structure has been dammaged and now it looks like it was "MAC NFS". Unfortunately recovering/repairing is more than just changing a label like "MAC NFS". When you are questioning about "set back to NTFS" this really means recovering or repairing. Both variants are possible that's why Testdisk exists at all, but you can as well fail in doing so. The answer to your question is a simple "Maybe".baseline1100 wrote: 01 Oct 2020, 21:07 Hello,
