After calming down a bit I took the HDD out of the case, put it in an external enclosure, then plugged it into a desktop machine. It won't appear in My Computer, but I ran TestDisk and all my data appears to be there; however, it has a 'D' for deleted next to every partition (see attached image).
Having looked at the files on each bit, the main partition (C:) of the drive is identifiably the third one down and the second partition (D:) is the fourth bit - but what do I do now to restore the partitions, or if I can't do that is there a way at least to recover the data and transfer it to another drive?
I am already pushing the limits of what I am comfortable and familiar with here, to be frank. There is a lot of irreplacable stuff on this HDD, both work and personal, so I thought it best to ask for more informed opinions before proceeding and doing stuff like changing the partition types etc...
Any help or advice would be gratefully received! Thanks so much for this wonderful free software too
