Missing Partition Table, Read-Only File Recovery

I have used TestDisk on a failed drive that has a missing/corrupted partition table. TestDisk discovers the correct partition table, but when I try to write the partition to the disk I get: "Partition: Write error".

My question is... is there a method of discovering the partition table and then using it so that I can access the disk as a read-only source in order to copy files from it? PhotoRec seems to be able to recover files, but it would be great if I could access the original directory structure and files names.

Thank you.

After Analyse, Quick Search, when TestDisk list your partitions, select it and press 'p' to list your files.
You can copy them if you want.
