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?

None of my files could be listed.

Re: Partition write error?
The disk manager is still listing the partitions as RAW... lemme check if restarting me computer will help
Re: Partition write error?
wait, I checked the setp-by-step again, I'm supposed to list those as logical, I think
Re: Partition write error?
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...
Re: Partition write error?
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
