Hello all,
I am trying to recover files from a USB stick which shows up as empty in Windows and Linux file manager.
If I use Testdisk, I am able to see the partitions but it mentions errors with the partition information.
I have tried deleting the partition table and re-writing it using Testdisk.
I can recover the files on the disk using Photorec however, they are all f numbers.
Is there a way to restore the disk so that the files can be viewed normally with the original filenames?
Thanks.

Re: USB stick lost partition information
PhotoRec can't recover the original filenames.
When using TestDisk, try to list the files from each partition. Use 'c' to copy them.
