Hi, I've a 3 TB NTFS external HD. Windows shows it as a RAW healthy (primary partition). Zentimo says it's an unknown file system. After an 11 hr search with TestDisk I got the above results. I can see the files with the "P" command. If someone can tell me how to fix the drive or how to save the files, I just might cry. 2+TB of TV,movies and other stuff. All the examples are for bootable drives with a corrupted FAT table. There was a FAT table listed can that be fixed or do I need to save the files elsewhere? I'm a retired RN that does lots of downloading. Thanks.
Simple problem? (resubmitted)
