Point me in the right direction pls.

Newbie here. If someone would be so kind as to point me in the right direction- situation as follows.
Win 7 32bit system. External SATA 750Gb drive- with ALL my media. Attempted to move the HD as an internal HD-hooked it up and my computer would not recognize the drive-I clicked the prompt ( sorry I forget what I did it was 6 months ago) and the drive failed to initialize ( as best I can recall that is what it said) I moved the drive back to the external and now it does not recognize there either...
I have run diagnostic programs and I can "see" all my data- but it will not access it. I can not afford the cost of the pay programs and I have just benched the HD until now. I found this wonderful software- but I lack the knowledge base to confidently execute the deed...
I have run testdisk-6.13 nov 2011 Below are the results. I just don't know what to do now to restore the partition so I can move the drive from the external to internal- or if I have to- I'll keep it as an external- I just need access to my data.... any help would be greatly appreciated.
