I have the following problem: The NTFS partition on my external drive seems to have vanished, Windows complains about an "invalid parameter" when I try to access the drive and diskmgmt shows the drive with a "RAW" partition.
TestDisk also only shows garbage when I analyze the partition (called X:):
