Be sure to copy to another partition (as writing on same may screw it up more worse).
But I am afraid, that you will have use that method, as it seem your FAT table is corrupt. And also Windows will not detect that partition's FAT anymore.
But using testdisk to copy all detected files (maybe do not recover deleted, depending on what testdisk detects) to a SD card is a nice trick.
Let us know how it goes...
True,, Windows couldn't detect the partition. reassigning was the only choice I had/know left. copied the data to the SD card,, although it took me whiiiiiiiile but yea it did the trick ,, thanx mate
Yes, testdisk is monster, in a very positive way!!!
Yeah, seems so
Last time (long ago) I wanted to use it, I was not successful. Could not select my lost files and recover them. Seems it recognized only images, but I lost PDFs. Maybe I was just to dumb?
, in a very positive way!!!
