i found another clue as to what might be the problem
testdisks reports a strange geometry and says that geometry must be set right before Analyze can be successful.
my geometry is very unusual
model number:
WDBAAK0010HCH-00 1911B
this makes it the 1TB version I believe.
testdisk reports geometry as:
Drive J: - 738 GB / 687 GiB - WD My Book 3.0 1123
CHS 1441517568 1 1, sector size=512
cylinders 1441517568
heads 1
sectors 1
sector size 512
how do I find the correct geometry for this model of harddisk to key in manually into testdisk and re-Analyze again?
thanks!
