Well, I don't know what to say about this.
This is after playing around with settings in TestDisk, which included turning both partitions into NTFS (according to TestDisk) and changing the boot record into MBR.
Unfortunately this exercise is useless. Maybe I will try a commercial program, but I would like to hear your opinion on this.
I got a HDD on the way and I'll ddrescue the entire laptop drive to it.
For curiousity, can I instead copy the files/folders as extracted here (
>>778089), then turn it into a functioning drive a la TestDisk/GParted/other MBR or partition table-making programs?
