Data Recovery and Disk Utilities Forum @R-TT

I received the message. Well, a lot of things to think over...

Most likely your Western Digital My book disk and the internal disk of your computer were combined in a compound volume. That is why the My book was formatted during Windows setup and you see negative numbers in the start position on all of your recognized partitions.
If it is so, you need to scan the disk of your computer and send the screenshots to me. Then we think what to do next.

I am running a scan on the c:\ drive now. The c:\ drive has been used extensively since the reinstall of windows. I have avoded using the external drive but i have restord files from other sources to the c drive and reinstalled programs etc. i will email the scan screen as soon as it completes.

Thanks again for your help

Well, that makes chances for successful recovery worse.
But never mind, we will try.

Did you receive the c: drive screen print?

Yes, I received. Now we are trying to figure out how to re-construct your compound disk.
