I've been trying for a day to recover partitions on a Samsung 1 TB drive. This was installed in my laptop until I upgraded to a Seagate SSHD drive. I took the Samsung and put it in an enclosure. I had it hooked to my laptop when I started having problems with a USB driver, so it got disconnected without using safe disconnect. When I connected it again, I got the format pop message. Anyway, after many hours of searching I found Testdisk. When I analyze the disk using Testdisk the 4 partitions show labeled "D". If I check the files of all of them, I find none in the first 2 but in the 3 one the folders and files I really want to recover are there. The last one also show folders a files. In my first attempt to "write", I was able to restore the ones in the 4 partition. But the others are blank drives in my computer. I was going to try again but this time I did a deepscan and here is the info in the screen shot;
I don't know what to do Next???

These images are from during the deepscan:
Here are 2 S.M.A.R.T. images for that drive from different programs. I already knew about the current sector pending count. That was one of the reasons why I replace the drive.
