HDD partition is gone need help recover the partition!

Berk70

Hello,

I had a 5 TB WD elements disk i plugged it to usb today and it did not show up. It was full before. I though windows did not assign it a partition letter so i went to disk management and windows asked me if i want the disk set as MBR or GPT!!!

I tried a different cable plugged it again but still same mbr gpt windows

Disk was gone . I hit cancel and thought the external thing is screwing with the disk took the disk apart and used another sata usb dock and the disk is like this right now. I have not done any operation on the disk

Try AOMEI Partition Assistant.

I have tried this it shows the missing files in the disk but does not have an option to fix partition itself

I have started this search on partition recovery wizard waiting it to complete

Edit: I let it run all night but in the morning it was not open 😞 data recovery software seems to find my files but folder structure is important over 4 tb of files it will be impossible for me to reorganize those. I will do AOMEI again any other recommendations to fix the disk?

 

Do you know any other programs for me to try or any forums that could help me so i can ask there again
