I have got a trouble with my computer. It has been working slowly sometimes (for 5-10 seconds). My friend said to me: "Jennifer, that most possible this - you have got a problem with your HDD". Another my known, during scanning with 'Victoria', has found out bad-blocks. Then, he has used Acronis and accidentally - one of partion was deleted.
After, it was a try to recover it, but then, my OS (Linux Mint KDE 17.1) has been stopped working. When I was using bootable flash drive, 'KDE Partion Manager' tells about my HDD:'No valid partion table was found on this device.'.I remember, that my HDD has approximately
such partions:80GB - Windows
~8GB - ?
25GB - Linux root
~100GB - Linux home
~325GB
~450GB
and
4GB - Linux Swap
Then, I have read a manual and started work with 'TestDisk' and have restored many files from this HDD
. (Great thanks to the author of this charming programm.)Now, I am trying to recover my OS. Below, there are my moves and TestDisk's answeres:

I hoped to recover the partion table.
If now, I press 'Enter' on any partition, I see:
'No partition found or selected for recovery

and I am wasting 2 hours on the 'Deeper Search'
Tell me, please, is there is any possibility to restore normal work of my HDD (partion table, filesystem and OS)?
