Doesn't the "clear" command wipe the drive?? If so, how can you do it without deleting files
from the drive?

All "clear" does is clear the screen so your monitor isn't cluttered with commands, kind of like
minimizing a window. Perfectly safe ;)

This step by step method of yours worked flawlessly! I have a My Book Essential and it crashed
on me, I purchased a brand new pcb controller and followed your method from 1:18 to 1:52 and
I just do a normal restart and it worked!!!! My 700gb of shows were alive and running now!!!
I am really grateful that you posted this video!!!

I can't thank you enough! And to the creator of TestDisk, which is awesome utility... This saved
my life, after I lost partition table, I thought I might just throw my external HDD out of the
window with all the data on it... This repaired my HDD in under a minute and all is working
again... Thank you very much!

For people with this Issue, it may not be the fact that the MBR is corrupt. I had the same
problems described here but what was the problem was the Drive Controllers in the Advanced
BIOS settings. They had all be switched to RAID instead of ATA/IDE make sure that your devices
connected to the motherboard are ATA/IDE this fixed it for me.

Can this also help a hard drive become bootable again?

I know this comment is old, but in case anyone else had the same question: Yes, this might help
a hard drive become bootable again. I accidentally wiped my boot partition, crashing my
computer and halting the erase process. This method made it possible for me to get to the
recovery manager, and from there, to properly boot to Windows.

Hey, wondering if you could help me.
im took my wd3tb mybook out to be used as in internal but it wouldnt read anymore. In disk
management It says 'Unallocated'.
Is that a faulty partition table?

Currently running Testdisk 'Analyse' which would take hours, it wont erase my data right?

Any help would be great.

Thanks
