WD Passport testdisk freezes 99% of analyse cylinder

#1 Post by MerNion »

I have an external 500GB drive that Windows 7 display as RAW.. I tried formatting it but it freezes at the last 1% so I tried the testdisk which I selected Analyze and it also freezes at 99%.. What does that mean and how can I make it work again? Here is the log:
