Re: WD500 External usb hard drive - Lost Everything

Not much to save there.

Try this:

A. At the first window, select “No Log” and press the <Enter> key.
B. Select which drive to analyse, choose “Proceed” and <Enter>.
C. Select partition type – Intel if it’s a PC then <Enter>.
D. Select “Analyse” then <Enter>. The drive/partition will be analysed.
E. Select “Proceed” at the next screen, then <Enter>.
F. Press “Y” if the partitions were created under Vista – “N” if not.
G. TestDisk should say “Structure OK” >> press <Enter>.
H. Select “Search” and press <Enter>.

TestDisk will perform a "deeper" search for files and partitions.
When the search is done (it will take a while) there will be a new window with (hopefully) more partitions/files to recover.
If you can see your files - choose "Write" and press <Enter>. Finish TestDisk and reboot.
If you cannot see your files - please post a screenshot of that window.


If no "new" files are found - try:
