Seagate 1.5 Tb Backup - Windows wants to Format

#1 Post by Fossburg »

I have nearly 1 Tb of data on this drive, and have used it for nearly a year with both Windows 7 and 8. I did not format the drive, as it came with a single NTFS Partition - When I select it using TestDisk - it detects 'None'. The warning in 'Green' at the bottom says do 'NOT' select 'none' for Media with a Single Partition. What it does not say, is what to do next. Can you help me, because I really do not want to lose this drive, and the data that is on it. Thanks.

Can you choose Intel instead of None and repeating your diagnose?
Please copy and paste the content of your testdisk.log into your next post!
