I tried -t ntfs (with and without errors=recover) and I also tried to mount the bad HDD but the system couldn't find ntfs boot sector on either. **without errors=recover *** NTFS-fs error (device loop1): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume.

I also tried scrounge-ntfs and it tells that the whole disk is a partition. I think the disk had at least two partitions. .KS. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
