Hi. I have an old MAXTOR 120GB HDD i use to store all my photos (!). recently, for some reason, it became unaccessible from windows (saying "the disk structure is corrupted or unreadable"). disk management shows the HD as healthy and online but as RAW instead of NTFS. Testdisk identifies the partition but can't read the files and deep search resulted in "the harddisk seems too small". log file attached.
help will be very appreciated...
Damaged Filesystem or not ?
