Not sure if this is ever likely to help anyone else but I wanted to get the word out in case anyone else hits a similar situation (although why the fuck would you ever.) I thought this was pretty fucking close to black magic and it neatly removed asses from slings like a champ. This little beauty of a command line tool can happily scan the drive it is currently running on, recognize the previous partitions and filesystem types, present a coherent view of the files that used to be there, and then happily recover them to your recovery directory location. After searching on internet, I saw some solutions.

In this case there was crucial data on the windows drive that was now gone forever.Įnter. I have a 16GB SD card, which when I connect to my computer, gives cant read superblock error (in Ubuntu). Furthermore I wrote the MBR new with TestDisk after there seemed to be a problem with the MBR. To recover data from this drive, get another drive (and ensure you have another place for writing a file), and use Gnu. I think I analysed the partitions and proceeded to 'write' and confirmed that. Unfortunately I can't tell excatly what I have done - sorry for that. Fairly obviously this makes data recovery a little tricky as you now have an ext3 filesystem and a swap partition where your single ntfs partition used to be. I've downloaded TestDisk and followed an instruction as far as possible to change it back to NTFS. In an effort to "diagnose" he overwrote the drive with a linux install. I'd just about given up retrieving anything from this HDD, when I stumbled upon TestDisk.
Data on the HDD is no longer viewable via testdisk. Quick Search takes ages to run, whereas before it took 15-20min, it's now been >3hrs. Depending on the partition type I chose, it shows either: Intel: Partition: Read error. or strange problem with your hard disk partitions, run TestDisk to recover your data. testdisk no longer automatically detects partition type.

My fried was really upset at the possibility of losing a whole bunch of photos of her deceased mother on there. 8 download link / upgrade guide download link please read the.

His latest special was a windows laptop that was virus laden. TestDisk is awesome I had a friend come to me with a HDD that couldn't be read. TestDisk is a free and open-source data recovery utility that helps users recover lost partitions or repair corrupted filesystems. Save as 'dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.txt' and attach as plain text file. If booting Linux 'dmesg' may hold interesting information. Both things, impatience and slowness, are worrying. He acts as senior citizen tech support to other senior citizens, totally borks the process, then calls up beloved son to provide free consulting to the masses. Also you should run as 'testdisk /debug /log' as the log file may hold details to read and attach to your reply as plain text file. For reasons I get depressed about going into, my father's support calls are often really special.
