Data Corrupted External HDD Please help me to RECOVER
#1
Exclamation 
Hi, I was trying to extract Kon Boot on my pen drive and my external HDD was also connected, kon boot setup files were in my external HDD and i was running it from my external HDD, I accidentally extracted it to my external HDD but the process was really fast, once i clicked, it gave an error msg saying it couldn't be written. After that I couldn't access my external HDD, it doesn't even show on My Computer, only gives power to the external HDD. But if i connect it to another PC it shows my external HDD but when I click it, it says to H: is not accessible the parameter is incorrect.

external HDD brand and model - Transcend Portable Hard Drive StoreJet 25H3 USB 3.0 1TB

I used Partition Editor from Ultimate Boot CD to check my drive and this what I got ---

{
GParted 0.16.1 --enable-libparted-dmraid
Libparted 3.1

}


This is the error I got when I tried to mount my disk from Linux----

tried that nothing happened but when I open external drive i get this error. "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"

when I try this command chkdsk /F /R /X G: I dont get anything, I just get "The type of the files ystem is FAT32"
I don't see data being checked or processed. Why is this happening???
