Need help with recovering partition WD My Book

[hiawatha]

I have a 1TB My Book that was working just fine until I decided to use a program called Ontrack EasyRecovery Professional to copy another HDD to the My Book. After a few seconds, I realized how stupid I was and cancelled the operation and quit the program. It was too late and I could not access the drive. The drive did show up in disk management and also in devices and drives with a drive letter.

So, I booted into Parted Magic and ran TestDisk. TestDisk was able to find the partition and I was able list my files. I changed the status of the partition from Deleted to Logical and wrote new partition structure, copied the backup of the boot sector over the boot sector, selected Backup BS and then restated the computer.

I still cannot access the disk with Windows, but I am still able list and copy the files using TestDisk. The files are fine, just would like to copy all the files. Or, should I just keep copying the folders individually? The disk shows up as RAW in disk management. I posted a few screenshots. What is the next step I should take?

Thanks,

You won't be able to "fix" it like that. What you need to do is determine how far you overwrote and start scanning from that point to the end of the drive with a program like R-Studio. How clean the file structure will be will depend on how much you overwrote. You will then need to save the recovered files you find to another hard drive larger enough to hold all the recovered data.

Good luck!
