Hello,
I have western digital hdd which has mini usb port in hdd extern hdd. showing 2tb as unallocated in disk manager. My orignal 1tb partion table is missing also ran testdisk from hiren disk. how to recover
 
@ryseshan, a reported capacity of 2TiB (= 2.2TB) is symptomatic of a physical fault with the HDD, in which case no software will recover your data.

How do UVCView and HD Sentinel identify the drive? UVCVIew talks to the USB-SATA bridge IC inside the enclosure whereas HD Sentinel attempts to communicate with the HDD behind the bridge.
