Your partition is available because it appears as RAW.
Another opportunity could be that your partition in your partition table doesn't match.
Diagnose would be, to have a try to repair your boot sector.
But before, a screen shot of your current partition structur would be appreciated.
It's your screen if you confirm at analyse in TestDisk.
If you'd like to, you can copy and paste the content of your testdisk.log.
You'lll find it in your testdisk folder.

Hi Fiona,
Here's the current partition structure under the Quick analyse screen,
