Many thanks.

Do you think my drive beyond repair? Should I just re-format it?

I can't understand how this happened to my drive. It was working fine the other week. I've not used it in a few weeks.

If you have any other ideas on how I can recover the data, please update me.

Many thanks

I can and I have followed the advice but I am unable to use Linux, that is all.

I'm just looking for any other advice.

Thanks

Using a quick search in Data Lifeguard it's come up as a PASS

Any other suggestions? I really need to save my drive.

Hi.

Hi.

Many thanks, I'll try that now.

Here's the log file from that last session. It didn't look good to me, but I don't really know what it all means?

Hi there.

I have a WD MyBook. It's a Raid unit with x2 1TB hard drives.

Yesterday, when I plugged it in, I got a lovely error... "This drive needs to be formatted" or something similar.

So I found Testdisk and started the tutorial. But I'm a little unsure about what to do next because I'm not ...
