Hi,
i need a little help here as im lost
I have an external Western Digital 2TB hard disk for storing backup files. After my external enclosure fails which screw up my partitions, i took out the hard disk and mount it on a 3rd party enclosure. I accidentally write MBR using Test disk on a Window XP. After Rebooting, each tme i plug into my Window XP, it automatically restarts the window. So, i used another computer wihich is Window 7, which it can detect. Now, the computer detects as 7 partitions, 3 which is unallocated, and 4 is fine, but still cant appear on my computer.
I have run the analyze for quick scan and deeper scan, but nothing came out.
all i wanted in to recover some photo that i have collected over the years. i tried to run PhotoRec, and so far all the files has unknows file extensions.

Re: Accidently Write MBR Code to WD Essential 2TB
If the actual partition table content triggers a bug in Windows, you can run TestDisk and choose Delete. Don't select the wrong disk!
What is the result after Deeper Scan ?
