What do you suggest then?
Is TestDisk generally able to restore the deleted partition(s) in such cases? In other words, is it worth to run the scan and wait for days, with non-zero success chance?
I saw a few other topics with extremely low scanning speed of large GPT disks, but without any hints ...
