Here my problem.. I have an external USB drive with 2 partitions. 1st is a small FAT32 partition(not encrypted). The second one is a VeraCrypt Partition(crypted). I can mount it with Veracrypt but the mounted drive shows nothing. If I right click on the mounted partition it says: X: Free space -> 0 bytes , Used space: 0 bytes (it doesn't show ANY file system but it should be exFat...)
There was a unplanned reboot and since then I can't access my my media..
I don't want to recover deleted files or something, I just want to make the drive accessible again.
Well I startet the tool and selected X:
Should I leave it to NONE?! I pressed enter..
Here I went 1 entry UP to ANALYSE..
What selection should I choose? TIA
Change Type? What does that mean?
List files?
Well, I hit ENTER..
I don't want to search for more partitions. I know there is just this one exfat... just need access.
What should I select?? It's a bit confusing and I don't want to make a mistake and make it worse... 30 mins ago my drive worked just fine. Please help! TIA!

Re: Quick Help with TestDisk
After selecting X:, partition type: None, select Advanced, Boot, List. Do you see your files ?
If no files are listed, run PhotoRec on this partition.
