Getting a lot of Cylinder/Head mismatch warnings
Posted: 01 Apr 2020, 07:33
Hey there,
I'm trying to recover some missing partitions on a GPT thumbstick and running into issues. I find the missing partitions which have been set to D, set them to P, then go to write. TestDisk then gives me a unable to write error with no explanation and then kicks me back out into the main menu. The weird thing I'm seeing during analysis is that I get a bunch of these lines. They stand out to me because in other people's posts on the subject it's usually something like Is what I'm seeing normal or do I need to change my geometry settings or something? I'm pretty hazy on proper disk geometry.
Thank you,
-M.
