CHS and LBA dont match, messed up partition

#1 Post by Moratora »

Hi,

I'm pretty new to this, so please bear with me. I am trying to recover data from a hard drive that stopped responding a while ago. Its a Seagate Barracuda 2TB (Model: ST2000DM001)

It was mounted in my desktop, went bad (dont remember why, I think I did something to it while using it to fix another drive about 6 months ago). I removed it from the desktop and used a SATA/USB bridge to connect it to my laptop

I accessed it through TestDisk and get the screens below and I'm not sure what to do next. Any help would be tremendously appreciated!!!

Are you sure it's a EFI / GPT partition table?

press "P"-files on every of the three lines. if files are displayed they can be backed up/restored. use c to copy folders and go the the backup-directory with left arrow. after copy you will be back in the data-section. display backup-folder on the right or left side of testdisk-window to overview backup-process.
if some data cannot be restored try to backup with knoppix-live-dvd.
