Recover files from lost GPT disk NTFS partition [SOLVED] {FREE}
Recently my Dell work laptop failed to resume after sleeping. It still recognized the internal 2.5″ SSD boot drive but it said it was not bootable. I believe the problem was caused by Windows 10.
After removing the drive and connecting to another computer for diagnostics, I was able to determine that no partitions/GPT disk structure was being picked up by Windows. 🙁
Thankfully after trying a ton of recovery options, I was finally able to recover all my files by using TestDisk. Amazingly, the TestDisk software was able to find the partitions and copy the entire contents to another drive. I have since donated via PayPal to the author of the software and I am very thankful for his efforts 🙂
Here are screenshots:
The first screenshot shows 246,466 having been copied 🙂
The remainder are just various steps along the way…
