I'm trying to fix my external USB Maxtor drive, which according to windows has a single
RAW partition, which should now be formatted...

I run TestDisk successfully, it sees the NTFS partition with all the directories and files,
so following the write menu I wrote a new table (non bootable) and rebooted my PC.
However, no changes I'm afraid...
I must be doing something wrong here??

Thanks for your reply!
