Estam Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Yes your correct, all seems understandable until you end up wiping everything out.I had to put my thinking hat on here, I have a hard drive that doesn't run windows so I looked around the TestDisk site and noticed a LIVE CD option then noticed Knoppix on the list.I had Knoppix 7.0 Live CD and it mentioned the TestDisk was already installed. I followed the instructions, entered Admin mode and entered fdisk and selected the fdisk -lBelow are the results from the LX Terminal and of course I can run any other tests you require. Please note the Astrix beside the /dev/sda2root@Microknoppix:/home/knoppix# fdisk -lomitting empty partition (6)Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes255 heads, 63 secotors/track, 19457 cylinders, total 312581808 sectorsUnits = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytesSector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytesI/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytesDisk identifier: 0xd65316elDevice Boot Start End Blocks Id System/dev/sda1 2048 312561663 156279808 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)/dev/sda2 * 159750423 239625539 39937558 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT/dev/sda3 312561664 312580095 9216 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT/dev/sda5 4096 159750143 79873024 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFATJust noticed all my TABS have diapered except when I hit Edit.
