Recovered partitions do not show up in minitool partition
Posted: 16 Feb 2019, 00:49
My Windows 10 computer crashed and could not find an OS on reboot.
No partitions were visible on the 1TB HDD,
I ran testdisk on another Windows 10 computer with the HDD attached via a USB cradle (Sharktool Quickport Combo).
Testdisk identified the HDD as Intel but my Windows 10 computer uses UEFI.
Testdisk retrieved 2 partitions but no boot partition.
I used the Write command and exited the program.
Minitool Partition did not see any partitions.
I then installed the HDD inside the original compueter and ran the installation Windows 10 DVD.
Diskpart shows three partitions (Extended and two partitions).
It reveals two volumes C and D.
I tried to create an EFI partition but it tells me that the disk needs converting to GPT.
So I know the partitions are there but I cannot access them.
I'm running testdisk again through the night in case someone can advise me.
Thanks
