I then select drive F: the problem Hdd > Then I select partition table type >[Intel ] Intel/PC partition > Then Analyze

Run TestDisk, select "Disk \\.\PhysicalDrive1", Advanced, Boot, List.
Does it work ? If it's not the case, please post the testdsk.log file content.

Hi
Have you tried in >[None] Non partitioned media
[Analyse]
Don't anything ie no action taken or more damage done. Just look at the results and post the results.
When experimenting don't do anything further looked at the results first.Then decide later.
