Hi,
I did the process of TestDisk: Repairing FAT boot sector
(7.5. in the official manual https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.pdf)
Now the disc does not show u at all.
Cannot open it and when disconnected, the window shows up suggesting to format the disc.
Please help, how will I get back the access to my disc.
Already tried various chkdsk /f , etc. in the CMD, but nothing helped.
The disc won't load at all
thank you for your advice

If the disk doesn't appear as a PhysicalDrive, there is a physical problem, you should contact a data recovery.
If the disk is listed as a physicalDrive, select it. Please copy/paste the testdisk.log file content so we can understand the problem and provide some information about the previous partitions layout.
