Restore ExFat Partition

Hi,

So, the exfat partition on my secondary harddrive gets screwed up every now and then, but the usual fix wasn't working and I ended up attempting to use DD to fix it. WHOOPS, that erased the partition table for that partition and also the HFS partitions on the same drive.

I ran TestDisk and it detected the HFS partitions just fine, but the exFat partition is labeled "unknown", and I can't figure out how to select ExFat. Do I have to just copy all the files to an external HD (since I see it says testdisk can do that), or is there way to recover that partition also?

Once the partition table has been rewritten, go in Advanced, select this partition, choose List and copy your files.
