Partition Recovery Wizard Confusion
I have a Windows 7 hard drive that, after seversl years, failed to boot. After attempting Windows Recovery several times, I installed the drive in a Windows 10 computer. I was able to read the drive and back up most of its contents.
In AOMEI, the main screen saw the drive and three partitions. I figured the first two were BHPT Boot and MBR Boot.
In Partition Recovery Wizard, selecting Quick Scan, no partition showed. So I went to the deep scan which showed one partition (NO NAME FAT32).
Currently, I am at 77%, and nervous. I don't know what will happen when the scan reached 100%. Will it give me an option or will it just go forward and try to retrieve all the partitions? (Also, some are a bit puzzling)
I guess, if it is recovering these as it goes along, there's not much I can do. I am beginning to think, though, if nothing has changed, I would rather leave it as is in the Win 10 computer because at least I can access it. Otherwise, I am unsure at this point.
