Might be possible that you have to register all partitions included your win7-partition into your partition table using testdisk again.
Sure. I just finished running a Deeper Scan using testdisk on Win 8 right now. Here are the results:

I have 4 operating systems installed on my notebook's 500G SATA HDD. Recently I upgraded to a new 1TB WD Blue SATA HDD and cloned my old hard drive using Acronis TrueImage and everything worked out well. My partitions and disk structure were intact, but with more free space. I have Win XP, Win 7 ...
