I also posted this topic in the french section. I'm looking for help so I also try in this section
I recently change the failing enclosure of my disk (power supply issues, sometimes disk not detected)
I wanted to use my USB disk dock to transfert data on a brand new USB drive.
Whe I connected the old disk through the dock, Windows asked me to initialize. After doing that, the partition was missing.
I ran testdisk and have the following issue :
BAD_RS LBA=3967470864 263608
check_FAT: can't read FAT boot sector
check_part_i386 failed for partition type 04
FAT16 <32M 246963 163 1 498365 44 22 4038765655
This partition ends after the disk limits. (start=3967470864, size=4038765655, end=8006236518, disk end=1953525167)
Here is the complete log
Can someone help me to recover the partition or data please ?
