Analyse cylinder 16972/3040004: 00% check_FAT: Unusual media descriptor (0xf0!=0xf8)

I followed a tutorial online, and picked efi/gpt since it was a gpt partition that got lost. It found it and it's scanning it now.
Is everything looking normal?
Also, if it is successful do I set it as Primary or Logical? In disk management it has no drive letter and wants to be formatted so I'm a little confused on what to do when I wake up and see the results of this.
Sorry if this was inappropriately posted, but desperation won out.
Thanks
Is this normal for testdisk trying to recover a 25TB raid partition?

IF you want instant repair of your 25TB, go to a commercial service and purchase immediate treatment.
There is no such thing as "normality" in breakdown of drives. So be patient and post your full log afterwards, read the manual, cross-read everything on www.cgsecurity.org and read in this forum as well, because I feel like continuously repeating myself over and over again and I might very well be that your answer is only a few posts away.

well this should work since this happened once before and i deleted the array, rebuilt it, then formatted it in windows and ran file recovery and got everything back (it just took 6 days).
I'm hoping this simply restores the partition and everything pops back without needing to run file recorvery.
that's the only reason I was asking about the errors, since I never tried this way.
I'll post my results in about 3 days when this is done, it's at 11% now and has been running for 10 hours.
