Hi
I don't know if it is possible to rescue my recordings from my crashed hard drive recorder but I assume that it is.
I have tried running TestDisk but it ends up with only the error message regarding missing the 0xAA55 endmark and no partition is shown.
I am new to TestDisk so I hope that somebody in here can help me by looking at the log file below.
Thx.

Does no one at all have an idea of what to do?
