Search with Google and you'll find out.

Why are you using Data Extractor? Do you know what Virtual translator in DE means?
Forget about DE. It's too complicated for you. Scan the drive with R-Studio and it will find all the partitions.

If the disk is too unstable to connect to PC, you can mount it in DE and run R-Studio (assuming you have the latest version of PCI DE)

if the drive is unstable it is the best to make an image ASAP.
then try any logical recovery on the clone.
