If I go to undelete, I see some files, mainly temporary internet files, which likely indeed were removed. If I choose list files, I see a couple of files/directories but far from all.
I already tried running testdisk: Disk /dev/sdb - 500 GB / 465 GiB - CHS 60801 255 63 Ls: cannot access /media/windows2: Input/output error However, mounting it gives problems: > sudo ntfs-3g -o force,rw /dev/sdc1 /media/windows2 I can see the partitions normally, and I also see the correct free space of the disk. I'm doing this from within a Linux Mint environment. SIGHUP detected! TestDisk has been killed.ĭisk Size : 1000.2 GB (8.4/137.4/1000.2/1000.2)įeatures : S.M.A.R.T.I'm trying to recover data from a Windows (NTFS) disk that became unreadable for some reason. TestDisk 7.0, Data Recovery Utility, April 2015 (Note: using the PPC Mac Version of Test Disk to read a NTFS formatted drive) I would really appreciate any help and hints for the next step to take. (TestDisk sees it as a 2GB HDD, as does the OS) But we know this HDD has previous issues as when it crashed it made a clicking sound. I checked the hardware using Fiona's suggestion for Crystal Disk, but it came back as "health Status = Good", in addition, that software saw the disc as a 1GB volume rather than the 500GB volume that it is. Since the disk is reporting the wrong size, is there a way to manually enter the disk parameters and have that re-written back to the disk so that it shows the correct size, and thereby enable it to be properly read and rescue files? But I'm not sure how to read all of that or what values to enter. What is strange is that the OS thinks it is a 2GB drive, not a 500 GB one.
The Disk we are trying to repair is a WD Scorpio 500GB 2.5" Disk (Model # WD5000BEVT-75ZAT0) that started to fail under windows 7. I have a 500GB HDD that TestDisk can't read from it and reports "Read Error".
