I have just formated my HP laptop (having 500 GB Hard Disk Internal) and install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS OS. while get back up for lost files, I install testdisk and run sudo photorec. All process is going fine, but I want to save the resotred documents, photos , videos etc in my 1 TB External Seagate HDD (SATA) . But there is no option for my External HDD in photorec window. How can I do so.
The USB drive probably was mounted in
/media/bapi/<name_of_drive. We can browse to the root directory (/) with selecting..twice then selectmedia,bapi,<name>.If it is not present there try mounting from Nautilus to be able to write on that drive.
