Partition found and all my files are there but...

[jimmcwibb]

...I can'tm get the partition to recover properly. Can someone point me in the right direction? This is what happens:



I click continue, next screen:



I can go into the files and see that they're all there. Is the characteristics correct? This is an external drive and I've never used it as a bootable drive. Next screen:



I click write and it all seems good. But then when I plug the drive into a windows machine it says there's no filesystem and it needs to be formatted.

Thanks

Run Testdisk, Advanced, Boot, if available, choose BackupBS and confirm.
Run "cmd" (right click run as administrator), "chkdsk /f d:" (replace d: by the correct drive letter).

Thanks cgrenier, I'll try that once I have all my data backed backed up from it.

The backup boot sector is "bad" and backupBS isn't an option.

At least I'm getting all my files off. Nothing is corrupted at all.
