hello, I need help, I 've got a 3TB WD green internal HDD almost half full with important data,
yesterday I left the pc running overnight and this morning I opened my computer and the partition was gone, restarted and I cant access it and it asks to format,
I am no computer expert so, after the panic was over I searched the internet and got some info, I went to disk manager and it says it's raw not ntfs, I checked SMART stats with speed fan and it seems OK, then I found about testdisk
I analyzed the HDD but I dont know what to do?
any help to get it working again, I got this drive a couple of months ago and I cant afford another one and it is full of data i need...
update :
ran it again until i got to this screen
it says partition is P MS data not NTFS as I saw in screenshots from the tutorial on the official wiki...
also I still get the warning about cylinders heads mismatch... I closed and attached the log file here how to proceed??
