RecoverMyFiles sees the drive out there, 1,584,789 ATAPI(SCSI) drive with no label. Also tried NTFS walker, didn't recognise it being NTFS.

Thank you for your advise. I am kinda curious though, I am able to list directory properly and files do seem to be accurate. Not many files on disk, just real big ones, around 470GB. Would you be able to give any light to the subject? FYI, in the Boot sector rebuild, itit shows Extrapolated boot ...

I went into the Check MFT. It says MFT and MFT mirrow are bad. Failed to repair them.

I went into Advanced, Type, Partiton type shows up as MS Data, NTFS. What should do next?

Did the boot sector diag and rebuild. After rebooting, Disk Managemet still shows two partitions, unallocated.

Here is the screen shot from Disk Manager. I am showing the Disk 1 which is damanged and it's "twin" in Disk 2 for your benefit. Did you want me to stop quick search, and start doing something from Advanced menu right away?

It looked like there was some geometry issues, so I looked at the second drive in the enclosure and found the cyl=364760, Heads=255, Sectors=63, Sector size =512. Started to re-run quick search, ran all night, only at 80% done. If you happen to be online, let me know if you want me just to quit that ...

Thanks for your input. It seems pretty odd, TestDisk seems to know all about the filesystem, it pulls up directories and files that appears to be valid, I would just copy everything off but there seems to be a problem when the copy hits around 480GB for the single file.
