Re: selecting * (=bootable) instead of D (=Deleted)

* I managed to boot using newly prepared Ubuntu 12.04 live usb.
* installed testdisk under 'Try ubuntu' (*NOT* install ubuntu)
* If I set the settings as suggested in the previous post, I get "Structure:Bad" in red on the screen. Should I hit enter and continue? Also, kindly check if '*', 'P', 'L' are as per your comment earlier.
Would continuing create any probs? Here's Some related link I found upon googling, but I do not understand any of this much, so just putting it for your ready teference -since my context + question is exactly the same.

The guy posing that question says in the end that the reply telling him about http://www.rodsbooks.com/missing-parts/index.html was directly helpful. Kindly guide me on this, whats going on here, what I should do, is it a problem with testdisk as implied by 'FWIW, TestDisk itself can create this problem, so its complaining about it is a bit ironic.' ?? Thanks, let me know.
