Windows 10: I lost data from my HDD after temperorily connecting my backup HDD

Experts please help me.I came across a very strange incident. I have a 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute connected in my HP Z4 Desktop. I have been using it for almost an year. Almost 6 months ago, I had created a backup of the data from this hard disk to a 500 GB old HDD taken from one of my old laptops. Today, I reconnected this backup HDD to check for some old files. Strangely, after disconnecting the backup HDD and reconnecting my 2TB hard disk, I encountered with a Check Disk screen and after booting, all the files in the 2TB hard disk has gone except the data I have backup in the old 500 GB.

Lost Partitions on HDD with HDD regenerator

Hey! thanks for the response!, i tried running Sea Tools and i have interesting results,

SMART Test - PASS

But the most interesting part is that, i have a "mount" program in Sea tools, so when i mount sda2, sda3,sda4
then when i go to /mnt/sda2, /mnt/sda3 and /mnt/sda4, i can see all of my data there!! all the files, all the folders, just as they were..

I can even read the contents of text files (using cat command).. so it seems my data + paritions are there but then why am i facing this terrible issue ? *Sad(






also regarding backups, i am sorry i have none *Sad, actually this 2tb hdd was itself my storehouse.. rip (i hope not)

Mount tool:





So DISKPART can show all my partitions and volumes properly
and in Seatools , i can mount all partitions and List and read all my files and folders without any issues..
so what should be my next step :/ i don't wanna mess this up
