[test disk backup boot thing help? hard drive]

ok i think i was using microsoft windows XP when i 1st bought the drive

then i changed to windows Vista

the test disk one i am using is 6.12 version and the download is win 32

the files (you mean what i had saved on it?) are mostly videos, some music, pictures and some word docs,

and it will take a little while to get a log:(

I hope thats some of what you asked for again as said sorta a newbie at this

tho i have noticed i think i have a problem with my hard drives boot thing but the partitions seem fine (meaning i only have one shown the bootable file)

tho i have noticed that it seems to think my drive is a mac thing not a PC so it selects the 2nd option in the file disk thing

ok no idea how to link a pic yet still new to this

anyway did a lot of searches for a solution and maybe i not worded it right but still no idea

i have a 500 GB exterbal hard drive i did a scan i got this from a deeper scan (i dont really understand this stuff and i hope someone does)

Disk/dec/sdb - 500 GB / 465 GiB - CHS 60802 255 63

the harddisk <500 GB / 465 GiB > seems too small! << 2751 GB / 2562 GiB>

Check the harddisk size: GC jumpers settings, BIOS detection....

the following partitions can`t be recoverered:

Partittion start End Size in sectors

HPFS 117934 149 48 334555 194 14 3480019167

FAT12 191485 223 34 322382 104 38 2102836748

and this is what my boot thing says

Disk/dec/sdb - 500 GB / 465 GiB - CHS 60802 255 63

Partittion start End Size in sectors

HPFS - NTFS 0 1 1 60801 254 63 976784067

Boot sector

Status:ok

Backuo boot sector

btfs_boot_sector: cant read backup boot sector

Status:bad

sectors are not identical

a valid NTFS Boot sector must be present in order to access any data; even if the partition is not bootable.
