Did I mess up..?

2 weeks ago, one of my hard drives in my laptop died, and last week my second hard drive died. The first hard drive, I was able to recover using TestDisk and the basic step by step tutorial, which worked perfectly and was surprisingly simple to do. The second hard drive however I think I messed up. I tried to recover it in the same way as the first one, but now I have written a partition that is only 30 gb big in size, and includes none of the files I originally had on my HDD. I can't seem to find or access the other 300 GB of files I had on my HDD. Did I mess up??
edit: some more info. The search results show that 'The harddisk seems too small' (naturally). Deeper search finds another NFTS but it shows 'cant open file system. filesystem seems damaged'.
