My disk was detected as RAW by Windows and gave me the Parameter Incorrect error and asked me to format. I've done some research and saw that TestDisk can be used to recover the boot sector. However, I'm just running into an issue where I do not see the option. Just to note that PhotoRec is able to read the partition is pull out files, so I'm not sure if I'm using TestDisk incorrectly and am unable to find the boot sector recovery option.
When I view my drive in the "Advanced" menu, the "Boot" option where the "Backup BS" function is located does not appear:
When I Analyze and try to view the files in the partition it has found, I receive this error: "Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged."
Again, apologies for not being able to use attachments. My log file can be found here: https://pastebin.com/jTsynnMB
The end of the log file is here if that helps:
