First, thanks for TestDisk

I use Ubuntu 12.04 for my work and sometime Windows 7 (games & music).
I've got an external hard drive of 1To with two partitions, one on ext4 format (where I've put three virtual machine for VirtualBox and where I dupplicate important files via DejaDup) and one on FAT32 format (where I put some files that could be opened on Ubuntu or on Windows). So I've cut the hard drive in two 500Go partitions.
When I've plugged my hard drive the other day, only the FAT32 was appearing… and I've discovered TestDisk

I've tried to check the disk but it couldn't seems to retrieve the ext4 partitions (three ext4 partitions were displayed, from where I couldn't see the content by using the P key). So I've tried the deep search…
… and here are the results (after 4 hours) :
