Hello, first I want to thank you for the time spent helping those who do not know much about these things. I have an external hard drive of 2 TB, it was working fine until I connect to a computer running Windows XP, I got a message that did not recognize the disc. Then I plugged it into my computer with windows 7 and all information had disappeared, tells me that the disk is empty.
I has follow your tutorial step by step but i get a partition write error.
Please help me, i know the information is still there because another tool scan the disk and showed me the files but somewhat erroneous.
Please help me, i really need recover my information.
this is the info in the log:

Re: Western Digital 2TB
Did you use TestDisk 64bit?
The latest version testdisk 7.1WIP 32bit is recommended.
In TestDisk disk selection you should select Disk / Dev .. instead of a Drive.
Please repeat your diagnose and copy and paste the content of your testdisk.log into your next post.

Re: Western Digital 2TB
Your current partition structure on your dirve contains an extended partition only.
That's why running testdisk / Advanced on an extended partition didn't help as much.
Selecting Disk / dev displays at Analyse your current partition structure (partition table) correctly.
