Only Disktest found my lost partitions, but the "Write" command doesn't change the disk after "OK" and reboot of the system.
System: Win10
Disk structure:
Problem: I took a perfectly good Toshiba USB 3TB drive, broke the case and put the drive (mostly full), inside my system and the drive came up as raw/unallocated:
I ran TestDisk 7.0 and it found the lost partition (it was one that spanned the drive) and all the files:
I selected "Write" and "Y" and "Ok" and rebooted the machine. Nothing had been written. and nothing had changed.
Twist
I then found and ran testdisk-7.1-WIP.win64 and it finds the partition:
But then it gorks when trying to find the files:
Question
1. Am I doing this right? Should I choose different options?
2. Can I somehow fix the filesystem so that 7.1 can find the files/folders that 7.0 could?
3. General advice is welcome!!!
