I then came across your software from this forum post: (https://www.overclock.net/threads/howto ... 57/page-15) and followed along as best I could along with the testdisk.pdf. After a quick search this partition structure was returned.

My guess was I needed both the "Dell Utility" and "Game Drive" partitions for the recovery. I verified I can see files / directories in the "Game Drive" partition. When I try to mark both "Dell Utility" and "Game Drive" as 'Primary' I get a "Structure Bad" error.
So, if "Game Drive" contains all the data that I care about, should I only try to recovery that partition, or do I need to do something with the "Dell Utility" partition as well? Any suggestions are appreciated!!
