You can navigate through the files of the drive and look for the ones that you are trying to read from and use that partition as a recovery and write the partition back to the hard drive.

However... In most cases when you have a lost partition, it makes more sense to copy all recoverable data off ...

The issue that you are having is that windows initialized the disk using MBR or a different file system then what it was.

When you see your data split, that may be the partition also being in a GPT general partition table
