Re: Partition write error?
Same raw partition again, hmm...
What if I try the GPT write with sector size 512 again? and if the inaccessible E: and F: drives come up again I try intel on E: with the adjusted sector size?

Re: Partition write error?
augh, the E: drive is different this time it's 800MB, and there is no F: drive
I safely exited testdisk, let's see what I can do
I wonder what I should do about the bad GPT signature...

Re: Partition write error?
what if I try dev/sdb?
Re: Partition write error?
...another write error, and nothing's changed. I'm somehow in a worse situation than when I had the previous E: and F: drives...
One thing I noticed was that the analyse always paused a bit at cylinder 13 before give me the analyse messages.
Should I just give up and use PhotoRec?

Re: Partition write error?
I'm back, and I'm going to try advanced -> Boot -> List -> copy files
Don't forget to change sector size to 512...
Advanced: doesn't show boot option, but shows type option
Type: EFI and NTFS...
Boot: both sectors are bad, maybe I should do RebuildBS but I don't have any good drives to backup to...
Let's try list and copy first...

It seems to be working, but transferring my old accounts may be more complicated...
