help with TestDisk and how to proceed

#1 Post by Mike »

Hi,

trouble with a disk and I'm not sure how to proceed. Here are screen shots of what's happening

says don't select 'none', so I scroll up to "analyze"

the deep search part i let run for hours and progress suggested it would be weeks more.

I'm ignorant enough of disks and structures that I would really like some guidance on how to proceed

thanks!

Select the PhysicalDrive instead of the drive letter.
