Re: Testdisk killed my disk
There are probably bad sectors or a damaged head. You should clone the disk to a new empty one using ddrescue, see https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.pdf
Once the copy is done, remove the original disk and try to repair the clone.
If the copy failed, you should contact a data recovery so they can replace the damaged head and perform the data recovery.
