Similar problem - sudden termination
Hi there
I'm having a similar problem during a Complete Format Recover of a single FAT32 partition 500Gb LaCie USB drive: RecoverMyFiles (v3.98) closes without warning or dialog when the search is about 2 hours into what I would estimate to be about a 40 hour search. RecoverMyFiles was having problems reading some of the very early sectors, but was well past this and had found around 5k files and 15k OS items before this happened (both times so far).
I'm afraid I don't know how the drive came to be corrupt.
On a PC, the drive spins up and is visible using Disk Management, which shows the drive as Disk 2 and has the following entries in the columns: Layout - Partition; Type - Basic; File System - [nothing shown]; Status - Healthy (Active). testdisk can see a directory structure for the drive, but I haven't been able to recover it using that program.
My iMac recognises the physical drive and that there is a partition called LACIE, but the partition won't mount.
I really hope you can help ...
Regards
