Data partition lost
Posted: 13 May 2024, 18:10
Hello everyone,
After my external hard drive was smeared, the host system's Windows Disk Management showed the hard drive's partitions one at a time using Raw.
I ran testdisk and also did a “deep search”. everything recognized. then assign the partitions - as far as possible I set them all to "primary" and then executed "write".
Now it looks quite good: Partition Win7, Partition 1, ..., Partition 4 shows me the test disk - as it should be.
However, Windows Disk Management in the host only shows partitions “win7” and “1”. I can access both, the other partitions remain raw.
The “win7” partition doesn’t matter, it was only set up for emergencies and never used.
How do I get data partitions 1-4?
Thank you in advance for any helpful help.
