Good to hear the files are safe.

Now we can play with TestDisk step by step - but be careful, so you don't alter the wrong drive.

Start TD:

A. At the first window, select “No Log” and press the <Enter> key.
B. Select which drive to analyse, choose “Proceed” and <Enter>.
C. Select partition type – Intel if it’s a PC then <Enter>.
D. Select Options > press <Enter>.
E. Change "Expert mode" to "Yes", select OK > press <Enter>.
F. Choose Advanced > press <Enter>.
G. Choose Boot > press <Enter>.

New screen - please post back with a screenshot.
