Thank you very much for help.

This is correct if he had never used it. He said how can he return it to you. Meaning he was using it and it lost the partition information. If he follows your advice he will lose all his data on that disk.

and how HDD gone in the storage location and become "unallocated" ?

many thanks for help mates!
 

It happens. It is a form of a disk crash. It is one of many reasons backups are not optional.

Partition recovery tools can recover larger than 500gb. Is that the limit of the free one?

Yes, you right. is cover perfect just 500mb of 70gb (but more games gb was there) nothing i know is nessecry me or family.
if i go for "New Volume" option, is may.. and can crash again ? :c never had a HDD crash before now.

That Sata III 1 TB HDD came with the same with as the SSD .
(maybe good point, SSD crashed too, nvm windows format for New from store new SSD to that pc)
ah those storage stuff, i still wait if can help me to understand \ forward instructions.

Thanks for answer for forward task.
 

If you create a new volume, yes it can crash again.

It is like a car.
If you get a flat tire. You can fix the flat. If the tire was flat because some one played with the nozzle and let the air out, then fixing it will make it like new. If the tire was flat because there was a flaw in the tire, it will still have this flaw and will go flat again (and maybe just explode and fail completely).
