    Bill sorry for butting in gain but I did just a while ago have this same sort of problem with a La Cie 1TB.

    I took this thing apart and inside was what looked like a small circuit board fixed to the bottom of the case with chips on it ??controller and just an ordinary SATA drive. Now I still have that drive somewhere around and I might just throw it on one of my machines and see what happens (with one of those gadgets) if I come up with anything I'll get back.

    The drive by the way I just threw in a new HDD and away it went.

    Mate I am no expert but will try a bit of "cracking"

    Ready? Create a log, then post screen 2-where you select the drive, we're going to deviate from the tutorial and use the step-by-step instructions. Since your device is different from those examples, we'll probably have to jump around in response to Testdisk's output on the screen.

    John: Yep, it's just a drive in an enclosure, with ciruitry for Sata (or Pata/IDE)->USB interfacing.

    injmalk: John brings up a valid point. Is this drive still under warranty?
    I think we should continue on the Testdisk path for the moment.

    Now back to the main show......

    Well, you selected dev/sda - that's your 1 TB C:\ drive

    I know you want this fixed, but.....

    Want to try again?
    One step, one screen... I'll confirm, correct, change direction, or cancel. Ok?

       Tip
    NOTE: Please remove the group of pictures from post 41. It's driving me crazy - the forum is stretched wide

    Edit the post, go advanced, manage attachements, delete the images


    That looks good - go ahead hit proceed.






    Intel is also good, next

    ok, here's where we deviate from the jumanji tut.

    after you confirm Intel

    Select advanced instead of analyse, post the screen

    then select fat32 and post the screen

    If you're having difficulty trying to remove the images from post 41 - forget about that.
    Simply delete post 41
    edit -> delete button (make sure you click the delete radio button near the "why are you deleting..." text box or it does nothing.
