Run TestDisk, select the disk, EFI/GPT, Advanced, Boot, List.
If Boot isn't listed, use Type, choose MS Data (should be the default) and NTFS on the next screen.
Please post the content of testdisk.log if it doesn't work.

I've done what you told me and also tried to copy what rust is going through right now because I have pretty much the same results as him.

Now my problem is, I believe my 3TB is harddrive is completely screwed. Did you really mess up my hard drive now or what? This is what it's showing when I tried to click on Backup BS after I chose MS Data and click on NTFS.

I'll show you the pics I have, sorry I was unable to obtain any logs. But I'm seriously experiencing a crisis right now because I think you messed up my harddrive:

Here are the results:

But then now I'm experiencing this problem when I tried to Backup BS. When it shows that both the Boot sector and Backup boot sector is "Ok", I had hopes that I'm able to fix my harddrive or still able to get my data. After I saw that I went ahead and followed the steps that user rush went through and then I went to Repair MFI but it showed the following message "MFT and MFT mirror are bad. Failed to repair them." as you saw in the picture results.


Now tell me what did I do wrong here and please help me fix my hard disk drive. I'm seriously going to cry because I'm hoping to get a quick reply from you or I'm going to kill my self and commit suicide. My 3TB is messed up now, what did you made me do?

It also shows this message now when I try to click on my "I" drive:
