I can see files and directory from the list option. However, the "c" for copying does not work correctly. I can highlight the file listed, select destination, then hit "c". There will be a GREEN "Copy done!" on the top left corner. When I check the destination, the file is not there. What could be the reason ?

While the Quick Search brings up the known partitions, you can do a deeper search to locate partitions that were not appearing.<br /><br />This is a great tool, I used it myself fairly recently when my external media drive with a gazillion dollars worth of iTunes movies just went boom for no reason - I couldn't get that drive to read no matter what I tried. I came across testdisk and was able to copy my files to a new drive.<br /><br />The nice thing was hooking up the new drive and putting testdisk there and running it from that drive and being able to recover files from the non-working drive. It saved me a lot of money and time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797059.post-7465043804678232922010-07-13T00:21:31.631-05:002010-07-13T00:21:31.631-05:00Thanks for this little tutorial.

I was able to rescue all data on my corrupted external HD and there were thousands of hours of hard work saved on that thing! Thank goodness for Testdisk... I think I might make a donation because I really appreciate what it did for me for FREE! heheAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797059.post-43442725761224291312009-07-29T10:00:28.093-05:002009-07-29T10:00:28.093-05:00I am using TestDisk right now to recover data from...I am using TestDisk right now to recover data from a notebook HDD with similar symptoms as you described. <br /><br />It seems to be working very well.
