Good afternoon.
He did the correct analysis of the hard drive, but the boot system is broken. I get this fault.

Error: size boot_sector 7813965824 > partition 4294967295

Was your disk part of a Raid0 setup ?
If it was not the case, try RebuildBS, List and if you can see your files, choose Write, confirm, Quit

I have tried RebuildBS, List and I can see my files. But it does not leave me Write. The operation fails.
Thank you very much.
