It would help if you knew what has been done to this computer

Also did this drive originally have 2 partitions on it?

If it did are the unknown ones the right size for the old Partition Sizes?

You cam always recover the Data but the questions isn’t so much if it’s recoverable but is it worth the cost involved to recover?

Col

No that not the same size as the old was

Actually i made these partitions before one week and kept data on the Ddrive.

Try UBCD

It has some partition managers on it that may be able to recreate the partition info and MFT (or FAT).
