Hi
I had success using test disk few times in history, but now i can't seem to fix this drive.
its a 1 gb WD with 2 partitions, and it was not a system disk, just for data...
I belive it was just a power failure...
I tried using both 7.0 and 6.14 versions
here is a log file

Re: RAW recovery
There is no necessity to use the 64bit version.in 64 bit version i also tried analyzing the logical drive not the physical disk and here are some errors
As long as your OS supports WOW64 (32bit emulation) you can use the 32bit-version.
It's recommended to select your physically disk, instead of a drive.
TestDisk displays your partition table containing 2 partitions.
They're Intel standard.
Would it be possible that your partition/s appear as RAW (unformatted)?
Perhaps a problem with your boot sector or file system?
Can you list your data by marking a partition and pressing p?
