Hi Fiona,
Thank you so much for looking into my case.
In fact, I recovered ~10% data by using testdisk. it was really surprising testdisk quit in middle of copying, and then the partition and file directory are gone.
i followed your instructions and got two screenshots (device manager.jpg, disk managemetn.jpg) which show no issue on disk.
