When using Windows operating systems the log file is typically written into the folder with the TestDisk executable.
The log file you provided looks like being cut off.

Based on the information given, I have no answer for you.
Obviously you are using TestDisk for a reason.

Please provide a smartmontools log file and a case description - hoping that this information provides some readable evidence.

Thanks for your time helping.
The cut off, it is because it stack at 99% and never finish. This is my guess here.
I used smartmontools as you suggested and follow those instruction, but in the log it show:

"Smartctl open device: /dev/sde [SAT] failed: \\.\PhysicalDrive4: Open failed, Error=5"

I used both command smartctl -a -d sat,12 /dev/sdx > myreport.txt and smartctl -a /dev/sde > myreport.txt

Please run your command prompt as admin.
If that fails use a designated location like
D:\myreport.txt instead of myreport.txt.
