There does seem to a be problem. No drive other than the drive from which TestDisk is run is seen. I have no ready solution.I shall now to try to run TestDisk on MSDOS and see whether it also has the same problem.

 

[Meenakshi]

Okay..Thank you!

 

[jumanji]

With MSDOS also I find the same problem. So perhaps a solution is going to take time. Let me see whether running TestDisk from Windows itself we can copy the files from the other found partitions.

Thank you Jumanji for your effort!

I will wait for your next instructions!

I think it might go down well if you show a liitle more courtesy and patience. We understand your problems are pressing, but you need to understand we volunteer our time freely, and have other obligations too.

I thought I might just let you know that in case you misunderstood how the forum works

@Meenakshi,

We have indeed hit a roadblock and need to take a diversion. I couldn't find a way to reach the destination external drive in DOS run TestDisk.

However, I have now confirmed that you can copy a selected file/folder to the pendrive itself.TestDisk itself occupies only 28MB space in the pendrive. So practically you can easily accommodate 6GB data on your present 8GB pendrive. See your screenshot in post #38. You are in Directory C:/. Give the copy command c. Your selected folder/file will be copied to the pendrive.

So now there are two solutions.

1. Select only one folder/file not exceeding 6GB and copy it to the pendrive. Move it to your external HDD and copy another folder.

2. Buy a large enough pendrive like say 128GB, run TestDisk from it to straightaway copy large chunks of data.

If you need some important data immediately go by the above process. I have no other solution to offer at the moment.

Hi,

If I will go with one . Do I need to every time copy the folder from pendrive and paste into in external drive and then again a deeper search ( which takes about 3-4 hours) and again the same process?

 

[Meenakshi]

And can I not run testdisk from external drive without making it dos?

Option 2 in my post #50: buy a larger pendrive 128GB/256GB to reduce the number of TestDisk runs.

And can I not run testdisk from external drive without making it dos?

Google and find out or raise your query in TestDisk Forum.

One last suggestion before I close on this thread: Download , install and run Getdataback Simple. https://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htm Scan your drive. If it shows all your files, to copy to your external in single run buy a license paying USD80.

You have to choose between time and money. Either way you are only paying for your follies of not backing up of your important data to another drive and converting the drive to be recovered as GPT and installing Windows on it . (I never use )

Good Luck.

I'm going to try with 64 GB Pendrive and I will copy only my important data.

Please don't close this thread yet. I think I will need to ask more as I have not copied anything yet.

Thanks for your great help!! I know i was impatient many times but you helped every time. You guys are a taking a positive review towards life with these helpings. Hats up to you always!!!!

Hello Jumanji,

I didn't find my 64GB pendrive so I tried with 16 GB. When I copied the data I plugged it out and again plugged in for copy another (without again deeper search) and luckily it worked .

I did not get my one drive data. There was only a one folder less than 1 GB. Actually I had copied this drive data from laptop 8-9 months before and deleted it from laptop. Is there any way that I can recover it from my laptop? I do not have made any changes to the drive from that time, but have saved new things in that drive. So just want your suggestion on it if I can make one try on it.



Thank you!
