Hi Fiona,
I have finished Deeper Search but TestDisk still couldnt find the singled partition
From memory, due to the fact that native Windows format wouldnt let me format 1TB external hard drive as FAT32 I ended up using Fat32formater to force format it.
I have tried every option in TestDisk but still could not see my partition. However, after adding MBR in Disk Management I was able to see my partition under [None] Non partitioned partition --> Advanced. When I tried to undelete my files I could only see arbitrary filename(s).
Is there anything else I can try?
Thank you for your time.

Re: How to recover everything that was in my 500 GB hard dri
I might have done something stupid here.
After selecting [None] Non partitioned media --> Advanced I went ahead and rebuild BS. When it prompt for "Write" I said Yes.
Now when I choose my HDD, I get this message I must have done something terribly wrong.

For some reason, I couldn't do it the first time. But it's all been recovered now!
Thanks anyway for your attention, Fiona.
I've learnt my lesson: I'll do more backups next time...
TestDisk is the best software in the world!
Hi rppc, I've got a similar problem to yours. Could you explain how exactly did you manage to recover your partition? That would be of great help to me! Thanks!
