Why doesn't TestDisk know about exFAT BS/FS repair?
Posted: 04 Feb 2019, 04:50
In attempting to repair a SanDisk 64 GB micro SD card (notorious for sporadic failure, product being recalled), TestDisk keeps on telling me the obvious. "THIS ISN'T FAT32." I know that it's not FAT32 because SD (Secure Digital) cards use Microsoft exFAT per standard. I don't want it to be FAT32, it never was FAT32, it's awesome that it's not FAT32...
So here's what I get when I attempt to Rebuild BS and all Files and Directories are successfully(!) discovered. I type Yes, and then go to Write, and here's what TestDisk prints out:
It prints out "Warning: valid FAT bootsector but not a FAT32 one!"
It should print out "Success! Valid FAT bootsector, it's an exFAT one! Woo hoo!"
How can I fix TestDisk's confusion in this matter?
