    Hi,

    I'm not sure about partitions. I did not actively create any.
    The advertised capacity was 160gb

    I also used EASEUS and could see all my files in the search.

    Plug in only your faulty drive ( Make sure you have no other external HDD/Flash drive/ Card Reader/USB hub/Printer with USB ports is plugged in)

    Run TestDisk.
    1. [No Log] - Enter
    2. Highlight/Select your 160GB Disk ( Select Disk and not drive with drive letter) [Proceed] Enter
    3. Highlight/Select [Intel] Intel/PC partition Enter
    4. Highlight/Select [Advanced] File System Utils Enter

    Post the screenshot of the 5th screen that appears. Further Instructions will depend upon what appears in it. Close TestDisk and wait for it.

    My trial drive Seagate GoFlex 750GB seems to have breathed its last. The screenshots at post#10 which I took yesterday night was the last of it. I had left it connected to my PC after taking the screenshots. Today it is not there. Now I have to buy another drive exclusively for my experiments.

    Anyway, coming to your drive, [Boot] is highlighted. Press Enter and then post that screenshot. We will know the status of your boot records.
