I tried to mount the HDD on my Ubuntu 10.04 system in case it works. However I got the following message

I then tried to fix this issue using testdisk.
The log from my first attempt is the following

TestDisk exited normally.
I pressed enter and then selected "Intel" in the "Partition Table Type". Next I pressed "Advanced" but there was a statement "No partition available". So I got back and selected "Analyse". A message was there stating that "Partition Read Error". Despite that I selected "Quick search". So something started to happening.
I should mention that my HDD is 2000Gb while the total cylinders that testdisk could access were ~250Gb...
When this ended there was a message saying "Strucrure OK" so I selected for a "Deeper search". When this came to an end another message was stating that "No partition found or selected for recovery".
The log from this procedure is bery big ~3GB and I cannot copy it because while loading it kills itself.
I tried another time with "Advanced". At that point I saw one partition. I entered using "list" and I saw only one folder of all. The log from the previous procedure is
