HDD showing as RAW, Test Disk saying disk is too small?

[Semicus]

I've changed Heads to 255 and sectors to 63 and then [ Analyse ]

here's the log:

I've copied all data to another hard drive, removed partition and made new one in windows. All is working fine now and no warnings in Testdisk.

I also runned SMART diagnostics and there was warning:
(C7) Interface CRC Error Count 98 98 0 1298 attention

[Jenananda]

Yesterday My data drive which is not by boot drive no longer works. It is connected on a Thermotake USB docking station.

The computer list the drive, but when I click on the drive letter I get a message saying "J:/ is not accessible.
The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable."

I want to cry. I really need this data asap as I can't work without it.

I just signed up on the forum so I'm a novice at the moment but with a technical background (just not technical about hard drive partitioning).

I ran TestDisk and it said my drive is too small. I went in and had Testdisk set the 255 63 setting but still says the drive is too small.

here is my log file. What else can I do. I can't afford to lose the data.

Thanks,

Jen

Jenananda: Run "cmd" (right click run as administrator) and type "chkdsk /f d:" (replace d: by the correct drive letter).
If it doesn't work, run photorec, select the partition and choose [whole] instead of [Free]. Your data will be recovered but without the original filenames.

[cgrenier]

I also runned SMART diagnostics and there was warning:
(C7) Interface CRC Error Count 98 98 0 1298 attention

You should replace your disk by a new one. If this disk is under warranty, it's the good moment to use it. With your warranty request, add the SMART info

[Jenananda]

I ran chkdsk and it came back ' Windows cannot recover master file table. CHKDSK aborted.

Before I run photorec, I would like to make sure there is not another option first.
Please advise. Thanks for the rapid reply to my original post.
