Hard drive changed to raw

#1 Post by yogev2255 »

Hey, I Plugged my phone USB, and seems that it Shortened my computer for some reason and now my external hard drive (2TB) is changed to raw
it happened 4 days ago and I did some runs with testdisk on intel partition and deep search but nothing found now he auto select EFI GPT so I tried it and he showed me one partition but it was empty so now I run a deep search

there is something else that I can do to recover the drive ? or it's lost?

I think I have the same problem. I followed a video from youtube that looked exactly the same as my problem and the testdisk found my partition name, but after a reboot nothing had changed and in my log file shows some errors:

Hope someone here can suggest something...
