Hi guys !
Unfortunately I've got another issue with one of my hard disks, it's an internal samsung 500GB hard disk that was installed in a new windows 8.1 PC, it worked fine for over a year, but unfortunately yesterday the PC wasn't shutdown correctly and as a result the hard disk has got a lot of errors and Windows 8.1 cannot boot.

I removed the hard disk from the PC and I installed it in an external hard drive enclosure, so at the moment I'm working on my laptop and the hard disk is inserted into this enclosure and connected via USB.

Anyway the first thing I tried is chkdsk \f but unfortunately the hard disk doesn't show up in "My Computer" and I don't know the letter of the hard drive, but luckily the hard drive shows up in TestDisk, here is a few snapshots I took, I hope they help, thank you very much to anyone who is willing to help me, I really appreciate it.

Of course I tried the classic chkdsk \f but although some errors were found, it wasn't enough for the OS to boot.
