Hello,
I have an external HDD that stopped being shown in My Computer and the Disk Manager said it needed to rebuild MBR or GPT... So I run TestDisk and select it, but it says "None partition table has been detected". The HDD originally only had 1 partition if I remember correctly. Should I select that option or ignore and select "Intel" instead?
Thanks
Unallocated 500GB WD Ext. HDD partition defaults as "None"?

You should use the default value, it's probably Intel or EFI GPT.
