Dynamic Disk Invalid - Invalid Partition Structure

[rugbal]

Hi!

I am trying to recover my disk partitions w TestDisk, but I m having an error I can't resolve.

The Seagate 500GB SATA has been working fine on my laptop as my main (and only) HDD w 2 partitons (OS + Data), but stopped booting, with no apparent reason (I wasn't trying to do anything on the disk management!).

I connected the HDD on a USB-to-SATA adapter on another PC and Disk Management shows Dynamic Invalid disk.
Run the Seagate Complete Test tool and it says HDD is healthy!

Analyzing w TestDisk shows:

..
- Disk /dev/sdc - 500 GB / 465 GiB
..
- Drive H: - 350 GB / 326 GiB

Trying to Analyze /dev/sdc hints partition table type "Intel"

When finished Analyze, the 2 partitions are detected and shown as "D".
Changing first partition (the largest, which I assume to be the Data partition) to P or * indicates "Structure: Bad" error message in red and after Enter command it says "Invalid partition structure".
Smaller Partition seems ok when changed to P or *.

Start-End Sector sequence seems OK!

Trying to Analyze Drive H: instead, hints to partition table type "None".
Running Analyze for Drive H: as Intel type, shows "Bad relative Sector" for both partitions (Sys=72 and Sys=6C) and warns of "Space conflict between the following two partitions"!

I can't find any similar situation in the Board and hv no idea what to try next!!

I attach log file.
Let me know if you need the screen capture w the Space conflict details.

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide!!

Please post the testdisk.log file content after scanning /dev/sdc

cgrenier, sorry to disturb you, but do you have any wisdom for my situation here?

[rugbal]

cgrenier,
just would like to know if lack of response means my problem is not easy to solve or too time-consuming for you ...
I am of course very happy to make a donation if you think you can solve it, but before I reformat the disk, I d like to know if you can help at all ...
best regards
