Running "testdisk" I get problems in recovering the lost PARTITION.
Windows sees the HDD as RAW.....
Attach log file gives me (as amateur) no clues what to do next......
From what I read in this forum I thing the USB on the WD MY PASSPORT 500GB gone mad? IT's FAULTY?
Can I have some success doing an IMAGE FILE and working on the file? or some other procedure?
THANKS in advance for any helful answer!
Regards.....

Re: WD My Passport 500GB salvable?
Every read operation failed. There is a physical problem.
Try to clone the disk using ddrescue as described in https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.pdf

Merci for your immediate answer.... I will try your suggestion and let you know for my results.
