nik5075, Ah, well it’s not so scary. There are options.
99.9% working option to save information:
Run testdisk, disable logging. Select the disk to 1TB, the type of partition intel, press analysis, then load backup (keep your eyes peeled tips at the bottom, L button). Most likely there is a valid backup of the table. Press P (keep your eyes peeled over the tips) to preview files - if you know your files - excellent! This means the backup that is needed. Keep a backup of the table as the original it (the program will tell which button to press, probably W). If a backup is not the - looking at each copy of the table, without the need for confidence and "W" will not reap. If there is no - will have to start in-depth analysis. But practice shows that this problem is eliminated from the first time, the first backup, a minute and a half. Recovery algorithm FS table is similar, just on the list will be added "more copies."
After writing the changes to the disk, wait 20 seconds, then simply pull it out without safely removing it. Windows likes to write all sorts of nonsense on the disk when removing. If the operation will be done under Linux (I recommend this option, but do not insist), then it is advisable to write to the console before extracting
syncto synchronize buffers and storage devices, and only then do physical extraction.
If you are afraid to do a full recovery, you worry that you will click the wrong button .. then at the time of viewing the list of files (P) you can restore the necessary files by pressing C (copy files from damaged device) and choosing the directory where these restored files will be copied (of course the directory should NOT be on the "damaged" disk, but, for example, on the system disk of the computer).
If the disk starts to determine all the files again, do a disk check (check disk), without checking the free space.
95% working option:
If you still don’t understand anything: start (as administrator) R-Studio, which I gave above, click "scan", then in the scan results you can pull out files and directories. But they can be wildly scattered, so you have to be extremely careful. But the interface will be graphic, with a bunch of beautiful buttons.
50% option:
Download Recuva. The master will clearly describe everything. Recovery will be long, file names will be lost, the directory structure will be destroyed. The data will be restored, but it will take a lot of time to process it.
0% data recovery:
Format the drive and just use it as a new, if purchased at the store. It will be a good lesson. If the data were really needed - would be back up to half an hour could be returned back to the disk. Restoring files, of course, it is good practice, but you should understand that the program for the recovery - is not a panacea and does not replace regular backups. It is an expensive operation (especially in the corporate sector), in which no one can give guarantees.

Maybe someone will advise some other programs that restore information in 1 click. Of course you can try. But keep in mind that in manual mode you at least know what the program can do. In automatic, it can destroy data.
