Recovering partition from 1TB external disc

#1 Post by Eruanno »

Hello again,
Now i have a problem with disc i'm mentioned here: http://forum.cgsecurity.org/phpBB3/post9837.html#p9837
However now i have problem with second disc 1TB. It was damaged when my friend try to copy files from previously mentioned Samsung disc to this one. He was using Ontrack Easy Recovery and choose "Copy Disc" option... lucky(?) he stopped progress after 2%. After scannig quick search with typ None option there was no partition that i could listed for files. Now I try with Intel option and i post result here.
Here is a log file:

Don't scan I: but the physical disk. TestDisk may be able to detect the original partition after Analyse, Quick Search and Deeper Search.

Thank you for reply. I've connected TOSHIBA through SATA interface and then TestDisc found partition table from the SAMSUNG disc, not TOSHIBA.
