Hi, i used on Windows chkdsk clean with the wrong usb memory stick (with only one partition 1Gb). it was recommended chkdsk repair in one forum which i aborted after a few seconds. I used TrueCrypt to encrypt this partition. I don't have any backup of the header file. I tried this out: testcrypt testdisk 7.0 photorec I am not sure about geometry which i should set for testdisk and photorec. i am looking for it right now. I am trying to use Linux and Windows OS to fix this problem. What i achieved: i created an image with dd on Linux i am working only with this copy if i try 3 times in the row my password the usb stick is mounted on Windows PC. TrueCrypt will use the backup header But i cannot open the partition in windows explorer i tried testdisk and photorec i tried to formate and than to recover i cannot see anything. i am looking for some text files (*.txt) What shall i do? THANK YOU!
Try it yourself first to understand what you want to do. And if there is any problem, please submit a specific question.
@kaljukass thank you for the replay i'd like to recover my data specific question: Did i miss something with testdisk and photorec? i saw some threads here and did the same. but i cannot recover anything Do you know another methods? how can i recover raw partition. I used also Hex editor to find the beginning and the end of the block. But i couldn't find a header or both headers are broken.
Hi, can i be sure that i've mounted correctly the partition as image in TrueCrypt.? As described in the first post "What i achieved:..." And then try testDisk out with different geometry? Thank you!
