Good afternoon

I come with a problem that I will try to summarize.

A virus slowed down my partition called "Data" on June,18. After trying to delete it, I decided to format the partition. And I chose deep formatting but it never finished and stopped at 62%, after a week.

When I restarted the computer, it appeared to me as a RAW disk. And it couldn't be formatted with CMD because it was a RAW disk.


So I decided to use TESTDISK and it showed me 4 options and within "Deeper Search" many more with "No files".

However, I opted for the one "green" with "1-1" in "Start" because is a "Logical Partition" and now the partition appears very divided.

Did I choose the correct partition? Is it possible to put everything together to format it?

What do want to do exactly?
Formating does not recover but destroys possibly recoverable content.

I want to use that partition again with the letter D and see it in "This PC".

Testdisk is the wrong program when you want to delete everything.
