![]() ![]() TestDisk 7.0, Data Recovery Utility, April 2015 It restores files from Windows filesystems such as NTFS, FAT, FAT32, exFAT and ext2 Linux filesystem. It can seamlessly recover a deleted disk partition. (Note: using the PPC Mac Version of Test Disk to read a NTFS formatted drive) TestDisk is a powerful, and lightweight software tool that comes with a myriad of data recovery applications as outlined below: TestDisk is able to repair a corrupt or damaged partition table. ![]() ![]() 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. TestDisk & PhotoRec are portable applications, extract the files and the applications are ready to be used. 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". ![]()
