Hi guys when i connect my external HDD to my pc i get this error "you need to format".
I need to recover files on this HDD.
So i downloaded photorec and following the steps i get this:

According to the screenshots you used Testdisk. You talked about downloading Photorec. Did you want to use Photorec?
