Hi, that sounds like there may be a lot of problems with the disk. The only thing I can advice you at this point is to try to salvage any data possible through testdisk if that is still an option.

Start testdisk, choose Create Log, choose your harddisk, choose Intel, then choose Advanced. Let me know what options you have there.
regards, Elise

Okay, the only thing we can try is the following, however it is not guaranteed this will work:

the options are ,,,keys A add partition...L load back up...enter to continue. thanks alan
At this point press Enter to continue and then Write to write the current partition structure (the structure detected by testdisk) to the partition table. The commands may be slightly different, if you are not sure, just let me know what comes up after pressing Enter.

the main menu again...analyse current partition structure and search for lost partition
...filesystem utils
...change disk geometry
...modify options
...write testdisk mbr code to first sector
...delete all data in the partition table
...return to disk selection

note:correct disk geometry is required for a sucessful recovery.analyse process may give some warnings if it thinks the logical geometry is mismatched.
