Hi, welcome to TSF.

What does Disk management say about the drive? Please post a screenshot.

Scan your computer for malware.

So, G: is a partition. Do the other partitions on Disk 1 work?
Can you see the G, H, I and J drives in "My computer"?

cphx

No. With every single one I have same problem :/ and it says they are empty, but for example power data recovery can enter to 18.1gb partition and bring back data but actually I dont need nothing from that one, and when Im trying to open g: with any other its not possible and in knoppix like I said, it cant mount them. And yeah, I see them in my computer.

Download the Windows version of TestDisk.
Unzip the downloaded file to your C: drive.
Open C:\testdisk-6.8\win > double click the "testdisk_win" icon.


The program runs in a command window and doesn't have to be installed.

Each of the steps (A, B, C etc) below corresponds to a new TestDisk window.
Use the keyboard's arrow keys to navigate.

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. Choose Advanced > press <Enter>.
E. Choose Boot > press <Enter>.
New screen - please post back with a screenshot.

You mean this ? :P

Looks OK.

Run TestDisk again:

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 will be analysed.
E. Select “Backup” at the next screen, then <Enter>.
F. Press “Y” if the partitions were created under Vista – “N” if not.
G. Select which partition to analyse and press <P> to list any files in the partition.

Can you see your files?

How is the drive hooked up?
IDE (master/slave), SATA?

Check the connections - try another data cable.

Run diagnostic tools from the HDD manufacturer.

Its Sata, disc is quite new, only few month, I dont want to format cause I still hope to recover at least part of it. Cable, hm Ill check but nothing should happen with it, like I said I was playing nba and had to restart computer :/ And Power Data Recovery see some files, sane as Nucleus Kernel for NTFS but none of them can enter to the biggest partition :/ But thanks for help.

Yes, I know trying another cable is a long shot.
But, I've seen stranger things happen.
