Testdisk can't see anything. The gpart program sees the partition, but it will not write back to the disk, or to the iso ( needs a physical disk device ), or ( surprisingly ) to the .iso written back to another disk. If only I could extend gpart to create an iso of the partition it can see... Cheers, Steve
