Hi guys,

My WD 1 Terabyte drive has been lost by my computer. Ive begun the testdisk procedure, but when i get to step E it doesnt find any partitions.

when i press quick scan, it finds no results still.

Here is the screenshot. Any assistance would be superb.

Your not going to get far DIY (recovery wise) with "read errors" the drive can't read the data thus you cant recover the data. Sending to a PRO more than likely will be the only choice. Run the WD diagnostics see if it says on the short test if fail no reason to run the long test.

WD diagnsotics also failed test.

I dont really need the data on the disk, its just movies that i can find again, however I am having trouble trying to reformat the disk. Test disk couldnt do it, and my computer doesnt recognize the drive so i cant do it through there either.

any advice?

also WD diagnostics failed to write zeroes.

The drive is bad you cant format it to fix it. Throw it away get a new one
