hello,
first, i would like to apologize for my english. my main language is french
on July 2017 i tried to install windows 7 on a usb key. to do this i had to use CMD Diskpart and the result was very bad because it look like it converted my "WD my book" 3To to a 2To hard drive + it became a hard disk drive instead of a removable device storage.

steps i did:
1 diskpart
2.list disk
3 select disk (put your number of your hdd for exsample select disk 1) in my case it was disk 3 (32Go)
4 clean
5 create partition primary
6 select partition 1
7 Active
8 Format fs=NTFS Quick
9 Assign
10 Exit
once i saw that, i used getdataback to recover lost files. it did work, i recovered most of my files except the musics i made myself. i did something wrong and i can't remember very well what.
the thing is when the program finished the scan i saw the folder "my music" (wich is where i stored the music i make) and this is where i don't remember what i did because i moved the folder into an other folder but i think i did this in the data recovery files program. after the recovery completed, i did not check if all the files was there because i was 100% sure everything was there but last week when i wanted to listen to my music i realized that my music was nowhere on my WD mybook so i freaked and i started a scan with getdataback to see if i could recover the musics and they wasn't there at all ! only the files i actually had on my WD mybook could be found. not wanting to accept it, i started an other scan but the result was the same.
a couples of days later i decided to go for an other scan but when i looked carefully i saw an other partition named "windows microsoft reserved p..." on my WD mybook. https://imgur.com/a/7zXlZ.
when i scanned this partition, it quickly found 13 files so i stopped the scan to look at these file that were named 0000234.mp3, 0000235.mp3, ect... and it was some of my musics. i recovered a song i make that i liked and that song was supposed to last 2 mins and it lasted 8 mins (parasite after 2 mins to 8 mins). so i had faith to recover them all so i started the scan for a huge 8hours and after the scan completed there was some mp3 and flv files but my musics still was not there except the 13 files i found when i tried the first scan. i had nearly 50 files in that folder i lost, some mp3 and some fruity loop files.
i really don't know what to do, it kill me and i have no other backup. do you guys think there is something i can do to recover the files ? is there a way to factory reset my WD mybook so it come back like before ? (into device with removable storage), will it help the data recovering if factory reset ? also is it ok if the WD mybook is NTFS ?
thank you very much for your time 😀
