Can you please help me recovering my backup HDD? I don't know how to proceed.
It's a WD Elements 1.5TB, one 1TB exFAT partition that successfully gets mounted and a 0.5TB that doesn't get mounted.
This is what I get when running Testdisk:
I ran Testdisk many times, I used to see a "EFI System" partition but I think I screw it up when I told it to write the partitions. Is it some sort of boot partition? If so, I guess it doesn't matter because I don't boot using this disk.
Doing a quick search I get this:
(that's the same result I got before, it didn't list the EFI System partition and that's the reason I said I think I screw it up - I told it to write this tree)
Running the deep search I got this:
I'm stuck on this part. Two repeated partitions. I think I'm supposed to mark one of them as primary and let the other be deleted. But I don't know which is which since I there is no support for listing files of HFS partitions.

Re: Recovering a Mac OS Extended partition.
The partition table looks OK. You should try fsck, something like
<pre>
sudo fsck /dev/disk2s1
</pre>
What is the result ?
