HDD showing as RAW, Test Disk saying disk is too small?

Hi there,

My hard drive magically changed from NTFS to RAW a couple of nights ago. I've run Test Disk a couple of times to try to recover it, but both times it says it cannot find a partition, that the harddisk is too small.

Am I doing something wrong or has the drive failed completely?
