Hello Fiona,
thanks a lot for your help! It is an Intel Storage Raid 5 Volume, handled onboard by my GA-Z68XP-UD3 motherboard. I put in four 2TB disks (Samsung Spinpoint F4 EcoGreen) which are all fine. The Array lost two of the four drives, sadly I had deleted the array and remade a new one with the same metadata (Name, Stripsize, and sequence of disks etc.)
When everything was still fine, there where three partitions on the Array, in this order:
1TB encrypted TC
1TB NTFS (unencrypted)
3.5TB encrypted TC
I made a TestDisk run using EFI/GPT and after two days running it found a lot of weird partitions, around ten or so, because he found signatures in the encrypted volumes. Since I know the exact sectors and where each partition starts and ends of my original setup, I added them through Testdisk. I was able to browse and add the second one with Testdisk easily. After that I added the first one two, I entered start & end sectors and wrote the partition table (ms data/unknown). (everything happened before my first post) I mounted the partition in truecrypt and it worked on the first try. Everything is in best condition. However when I wanted to add sectorinfo for the third partition it didn't let me. Thats where I'm standing now, two of three partitions are recovered without problems, but I can't enter the data for the third one. :/
