FORMAT EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE MAC WON MOUNT PASSWORD

TestDisk/PhotoRec is now asking for a password on Mac so can't use it but works fine on Windows. It used to all work normal with the drive. Have I missed anything? Is there any way to repair? I think I can recover but how can I be sure that I'll get everything (100s GB)? Phoenix sorts the files out itself and only the Raw Recovery and Formatted Media. My Mac uses a combination of MacFuse and Tuxera NTFS to mount NTFS drives and that hasn't had a problem - another NTFS drive works fine so I ruled that out. Windows says the drive needs to be formatted to be used, Mac won't mount nor allow 'Repair Disk' in Disk Utility even though it shows there (couldn't mount it via Terminal), and Linux said it couldn't mount regarding something about error 2 (I tried ntfs-3g, ntfsfix and another tool I think that I can't remember if I did). My other drive (exactly the same with almost cloned data) stuffed up quite recently but managed to fix it with Chkdsk after also many hours of research (and that took days to complete). Noting this, I could be wrong yet can't find another plausible reason. I've tried Test Disk (as well as PhotoRec) and MiniTool Partition Wizard to repair and recover the table.

After many hours of research, I think the ntfs partition table is corrupt. I've used Phoenix (and PhotoRec) to scan and the data is still intact (not sure if 100% fine). The external loads onto the computer (have tested on Mac, Windows, Linux and the netbook being Windows aswell) fine but won't mount. That was all before the drive stopped working - I think that occasion was the reason why.

When I returned, I found the netbook shut down (lack of power) and thought all was OK. I left the external to copy some data across and thought all was fine (not first time I've transferred data).
