Problem with a WD 2TB "My Passport Drive"

#1 Post by TotallyAwesome »

Hello,

I plugged a WD 2TB "My Passport" Drive into a Linksys E3000 router so that the drive would be shared on the network. I was unable to map to the drive when I put in on the E3000 router so I disconnected from the router (according the the Linksys router) and plugged it into my PC. I am now getting a dialog box on my Windows 7 computer asking me to reformat the drive.
So I ran the Test disk software and below is the log. I have also looked thru the forum and there seems to be numerous failures that are similiar to mine the are using WD drives.
So here is my log file

Hello,

Sure here is copy and paste of the log file. I assumed that when I posted to the forum and uploaded a attachment (the log file) that it would be available to you. So here is the copy and paste of the log

Did you use TestDisk 64bit?
In case, please repeat your diagnose using TestDisk 32bit?
Also, it's recommended to select your physically "Disk" instead of a drive.

Your partition table contain entries like:
1 * Sys=72 13577 238 11 119521 238 60 1701990410

Bad relative sector.
2 * Sys=74 45381 70 3 79242 34 29 543974724
They might be wrong?
Please repeat your diagnose using TestDisk 32bit and run Quick and Deeper Search.
In "Quick Search" testdisk searches for a boot sector and displays your partition.
Deeper Search searches additional for a backup of your boot sector and displays your partition also.

Copy and paste the content of your testdisk.log again.
If TestDisk finds any partition/s please mark it and press p to have a try to list your files.

Hello,

Thanks for getting back to me. I used test64 because I have a 64bit Windows system. I will use test32 as you requested and post the log file. Have a nice day!
