Maybe thats what TestDisk found as well.Īnyway, I'm trying all sorts of different programs now, but I don't have much faith. I'm assuming it was stuff that was on the drive before I ever formatted it.

I tried Partition Guru to recover some files, but oddly enough all it found were some really messed up files with sequential names that won't open, and a bunch of user manual documents and photos from Western Digital. I've currently tried a few programs to recover the partition, nothing seems to be working. TestDisk couldn't list any of my files, so I decided not to write anything to the hard drive. Upon further reading, I went ahead and messed with some stuff. I read all the guides and my experience is not matching up with any guide or forum post. I'll post the log when I get home from work. Is there any way to save the quick search it already did? That way if I exit out of this but want to go back to it i can? I'm afraid to do anything if its going to take another 3 days to quick search the drive. All the guides tell me i'm supposed to see an NTFS row and stuff.

The third one has "P Mac HFS" followed by start and end numbers. The second one has "P MS Data" followed by start and end numbers The first one has "M-<^CM-4c?M-pp 7]" followed by start and end numbers. It's sitting with a screen that now has three rows in green. Then I hit analyze, and then quick search. Testdisk told me that it thought the drive was an "EFI GPT" partition so i went with it.
So I looked at all the guides and ran TestDisk. The disk only had one partition on it, just one giant NTFS partition. They suggested to use TestDisk to recover the partition. Multiple people had the same problem with their WD my book drives. Upon plugging the drive into the computer via esata and a separate power supply the drive showed up as unallocated. So i took the drive out of the enclosure. I thought the drive had died, however i noticed the enclosure wasn't getting any power at all. Then one night i notice its no longer connected. It was connected fine and everything was good for years. Ok so about three days ago my 3TB Western Digital My Book external drive decided that it didn't want to be powered on anymore.
