My hard drive has magically gone from NTFS to RAW, which of course means I can't access the data. I've followed the step by step instructions on TestDisk website, up until Quick Search for Partitions. I have done this stage, but nothing was found (see attached image). I had to manually select the partition type as Intel, as TestDisk couldn't detect a type.
I don't know where to go next. Log file is here:
