MiniTool, another recovery program, immediately noticed the disk, with a correct volume label and explorable contents, even without running a recovery pass, but the free version doesn't let me copy files.įinally, TestDisk is able to read the disk's contents without any problems, without running a specialized recovery pass - it accesses the NTFS system as if everything was fine. and then it completely failed to find any files.ĬhkDsk H:, however, DOES detect it as NTFS and checks the filesystem (finding indexing errors in file descriptor 5, which is root folder ".", so thus far I only ran it in read-only mode out of caution). I tried using DiskInternals Partition Recovery, which indeed reported the drive being only seen as RAW, easily found a partition at sector 2048, spanning the full size of the disk, detected an NTFS system on it. My external HDD suddenly started reporting as "931.51 GB RAW (Primary)" in Windows disk management.
