Take note of which drive you selected, in my case I chosed /dev/rdisk1 (rather than /dev/disk1)ĥ.- Next screen select the menu Analize, it will probbly display you and error telling you the block 0 couldn’t be read, just hit enter on the ‘Quick Analize’ optionĦ.- ATTENTION: TestDisk will quickly search for partitions on the disk and display you information about it on your disk. I selected Yes and continued.Ĥ.- On the screen it will display you all the Disk it detects connected to your Mac select the one that got damaged partition tables and press Enter. testdisk’ it indetially promped me to make my terminal bigger =P, after doing so It displayed me a simple disclaimer and then a notice telling me that TestDisk could Log all the activity if I wanted to. Here’s how I did it, hope it works for you.ġ.- I downloaded TestDisk from their official site : Ģ.- I opened the terminal and surfed to where I downloaded and unziped TestDiskģ.- I issued the command ‘sudo.
When I called Avaco12 to tell her that I fixed her data she was so happy she couldn’t stop smiling she told me I was her Hero and so that’s how I felt, the process wasn’t easy specially because noone talks about how pdisk works on Mac OS X. I gave it a try and awesomely I managed to fix the disk using TestDisk and the pdisk utility. There are plenty of solutions out there, some of them are really expensive, and people on the forums are not very happy with them so I wanted to look at little more into the issue and I came across this solution called TestDisk which is an Open-Source Multi-platform solution for repairing disk partitions.
She was crying because she said she had her entire life on that disk, so she asked me for help and I started researching what could I possibly do to repair the disk or at least retrieve her data. Today my friend Avaco12 made a little mistake while installing bootcamp on her iMac, she left her external (200GB) disk connected, and when Windows asked her where to put the new Partition she accidentally selected her preciousus external drive, when she realized it was already too late, windows had already destroyed the partition table on her disk. At the time of writing this post I must say that I feel like a hero! That feeling is wonderful you know, when someone has a problem with their computer and not a simple but a HUGE one and you are able to repair em you turn to be that people hero.
