Hi all, I'm using Asus laptop with 1 TB Toshiba hdd with windows 10 install, Few days ago it stop working and I wasn't able to boot up. I tried reinstalling windows using media tool but it showing my hdd filesystem is raw. So, I boot up from my ubuntu liveUSB and use testdisk to recover the partition, but it wont show in testdisk. Below is log for testdisk,

TestDisk exited normally.

Also, in the Disks utility, It shows the hard disks has no volume and in gparted it only detects my USB. But, my bios showing my hdd.

Please help me, If recovery is not possible, i'm ready to wipe the drive but at least get it working as I cant install any OS in it.

Testdisk sees your harddisk, but cannot retrieve the size information from your driven.
You might consider contacting a professional recovery service.

Does the drive show up in the BIOS?
Are you able to run smartmontools from your your Ubuntu live USB stick?
