Hmmm... that is some good news , though I don't have the pleasure of seeing it in a screenshot.
And yes, we will go with TestDisk. But you seem to have downloaded the Win64 version of TestDisk. No, delete it from your PC .( It is to be used only on systems lacking WoW64 as some features are missing) I am sure that your system will have WOW64. Check. If you do have WOW64 then download and use only the Windows version, the second in the list here TestDisk Download - CGSecurity. It should be testdisk-7.0.win.zip (11.8MB). Run testdisk_win.exe from it.
Now go to Post No 6.in this thread
WD Elements being read as RAW // Contents readable through app
Are you able to reach the fifth screen in it showing your partition?
If you do see the partition and [Boot] is highlighted, move the highlight to
[List] and then press enter. Does it list your files? Post a screenshot and then close TestDisk by clicking on X on the Title Bar.
As with any Data Recovery effort I am keeping my fingers crossed :).
Note: For copying the files you should have plugged in another external drive with adequate space with a folder named Recovery on it.This Recovery folder on your Destination drive will be the destination to copy the files. If you do not have one plugged in when you started TestDisk, you may run TestDisk again after plugging in the destination drive and copy the files.
