Hello All,
Looking for some assistance here and would appreciate the help. I have a laptop that seems to have a corrupted drive. Ran a hard drive short self test and it passed but I cannot access the data. First time I plugged it in it asked me to format the drive. I came across TestDisk when doing some searching and I ran it and was able to find all of the partitions and wrote the partition structure on the disk and restarted. Since then I can now see/access all of my recovery partitions but unfortunately my main partition is still not readable. ("The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable") message.
What should I do next? I have also tried hooking it up to an ubuntu machine and it could not see the main partition as well.

Re: Laptop Drive is corrupted
Run TestDisk, Advanced, select the damaged partition, List. Can you files your files ?
It it works, you can copy them.
You can also run "cmd" (right click run as administrator) and use "chkdsk /f d:" (replace d: by the correct drive letter).

Hello,
I cannot view the files on that partition but I can see them on others. I also cannot run chkdsk
