3 more linux partitions came up, the first two were data and had a size of 204800 sectors?

A FAT boot sector is unreadable and invalid

2 FAT12 partitions came up, the first one has a D next to it so I assume that's deleted?

the second one seems identical to the first, will I have to pick between the two and decide to undelete the first one though?

quick scan now at 21%

Quick Scan at 50%

Nothing new came up but I should probably mention that the FAT partitions are around 3000000000 (10 digits) sectors big? Was choosing the intel partition type a mistake or was it the GPT write error?

None of my files could be listed.

Maybe I should try Intel for the Physical drive instead of just e:?

That worked, and I remembered to set the sector size to 512 instead of 4096

there was one boot partition and two primary partitions, I decided to write them since my files were listed

The disk manager is still listing the partitions as RAW... lemme check if restarting me computer will help

wait, I checked the setp-by-step again, I'm supposed to list those as logical, I think

Apparently the infastructure is bad if both the partition with my files and the recovery partition are set to logical, and I dunno which partition the EFI System Partition is...

I set the EFI Partition to boot and the recovery partition to Primary

A brief online search suggests that the recovery partition is primary in the first place

on another note, setting the recovery to logical and the main partition to primary is bad infastructure

Let's see how it writes...

Testdisk exited safely Disk Manager still says RAW, so I'll try restarting my computer this time
