Since then i tried the Advanced tab and started copying an image.dd but after many hours and reading it might not recover everything with file structure, just the 'blocks' maybe? (I read it's mostly used just to move the image to another drive, to then be more safe of recovering everything without the disk failing or simply just to have another copy, for like forensic work etc
...So now i have tried Analyse - Quick Search - right arrow selecting P on both the EFI (not sure what this is really) and the Mac HFS partition, to then get this when pressing P to show lists 'Support for this filesystem hasn't been implemented.'
So now i'm stuck, lol All other data recovery software i've researched for mac doesn't seem to bring back the file structure, and i have a lot of applications (i think) Movies, Films, Documentaries and Music (all of which were in Albums or they were bluray .m2ts files.. of which when using other software, it puts all the files in one single folder with 100s of files all with random names... so very hard to put back together

If anyone could shed some light on my situation.. it would be very much appreciated.. I feel like i'm close but maybe the software simply isn't able to read HFS+ volumes, and if so i will have to bite the bullet if no other software works.
many thanks to anyone that helps,
