Such partitions are used for recovery data on brand computers (HP, Dell etc).
What is the last "black" partition on the "bad" HDD? If it's empty >> delete it.

Hi eneles - thanks for your post. I hope you can do for me what you have done for so many other people on this forum. I'm very glad to have your support.
Regarding the last "black" partition, according to "Computer Management/Disk Management", it is one megabyte of unallocated space. I formatted and partitioned both disks exactly the same way: I specified 200 MB (200,000/1024=195.3125 GB) for the first two partitions, and specified the rest of the space for the 3rd partition.
I can't remember which physical disk I partitioned first. So maybe I did the other disk first and made the partitions on this disk ('Disk 1') exactly the same size. So maybe this disk is marginally bigger and therefore has the extra bit of unallocated space.
As it is unallocated and is therefore not a partition, I'll leave it alone. I hope that's OK.
I'll now do the TestDisk work and post the screen shot.
