So nothing changed after writing the partition table?
Not that I can tell, except that I actually realized since originally posting that the partition I have screenshotted that is marked drive letter E: in disk management is actually only showing up/being created after I run testdisk. I originally thought it was always there after I restart, but if I delete it and restart and don't run testdisk yet it shows the entire disk unallocated. Once I use testdisk and try to repair the GPT partition and restart then that 2048GB RAW partition seen below appears, which obviously is incorrect still.
Your screenshot shows "Disk 4 Basic" but TestDisk has rewritten the partition table as EFI GPT.
If properly ejecting the disk/reconnecting it Windows still display the disk as Basic, check if an antivirus doesn't prevent TestDisk writing the new partition table.
