EXCUSE ME - MY BAD ENGLISH - I`M AN OLD GERMAN BOY - BUT LUCKY FOR HELP
Seek assistance in solving my problem - Disk Recovery.
Prehistory:
accidentally erased the W 100 MB partition on the disk to free up disk space.
In the process, want to expand the further data partition.
(Capital error)

FIRST STEP:
With test disk the disk can read.
Use PhotoREc to backup the photos and documents.
(But I'm doubting if I have everything)

SECOND STEP:
Now try to restore the partition.
Did because of the message - CHS Mached - the Cylinder tried once to adjust,
then the old settings are made again.

MESSAGES FORWARD GOODS:
CHS 61042/254/63
H224! = 255
S19! = 63
(I have read these messages, should just be left, wg. New higher disk size access,
and just go on in the testdisk menu -)

CONCLUSION:
At the moment I get error message
BATH SECTOR ERROR

HELP:
Am I correct in assuming that I "shot up" the CHC?

ARE THERE DESPITE ALL A SOLUTION ROUTE AND HOW - THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
suche Unterstützung beim Lösen meines Problems - Disk Wiederherstellung.
Vorgeschichte:
versehentlich auf der Platte die W 100 MB partition gelöscht, um Speicherplatz freizumachen.
Dabei die weitere Datenpartition erweitern wollen.
(Kapitaler Fehler)

ERSTER SCHRITT:
Mit Testdisk die Platte lesen können.
Mit PhotoREc die Fotos und Dokumente sichern können.
(Bin aber am Zweifeln ob ich alles habe)

ZWEITER SCHRITT:
Versuch nun die Partition wiederherzustelln.
Habe aufgrund der Meldung - CHS Mached - die Cylinder versucht einmalig anzupassen,
danach die alten Einstellungen wieder vorgenommen.

MELDUNGEN VORWEG WAREN:
CHS 61042/254/63
H224!=255
S19!=63
(Diese Meldungen hab ich gelesen, sollten einfach belassen werden, wg. neuen höheren Plattengrößezugriff,
und einfach im Testdiskmenü - weitergegangen werden)

FAZIT:
Im Moment bekomme ich Fehlermeldung
BAD SECTOR ERROR

HILFE:
Gehe ich in der Annahme richtig, dass ich die CHC "zerschossen habe?"

GIBT ES TROTZ ALLEM EINEN LÖSUNGSWEG UND WIE - DANKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you try testdisk 7.1-WIP ?

Hi,

(I`m not a Linux expert)
Just now its running testdik.
I think, the error is comming at Analyse Cylinder 50%

Is this the error - ?
How can I changed the geometry with the correct options.
Thank so many for your help.

The CRC / read errors show that there are bad sectors. You should clone your disk to a new empty disk using ddrescue as described in https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.pdf
Once it's done, remove the original disk and try to access your data from the clone. If necessary, try to repair the filesystem from the clone.
Good luck
