Partition read: Error

#1 Post by nicosalaris »

Good morning, i made a bootable ext HDD for windows 11 by mistake, and i accidently formatted my hdd.
I already used testdisk on my previous corrupted hard disk and i managed to recover my files.
Now when i search for partitions pops up "Partition read: Error" and in advanced menu shows "No partitions available".

i checked my HDD in CrystalDiskInfo and says it's good. Can anyone help me? I need to create an image from my original HDD in one other HDD?

Thanks.

Please post a smartmontools log file and the log file generated by Testdisk.
