That is bad news. The MFT is also most probably corrupted. [Quit] Enter. If it takes you to the previous screen move the highlight to [Repair MFT] Enter. Post the ensuing screen.
Got this after pressing "Repair MFT".
In most cases TestDisk may not t repair MFT. You may have to try a commercial program and check whether it shows your files.
Now repeat the same process for the second MS Data partition. and if boot sector and backup boot sector show OK, [Repair MFT]
If TestDisk says it is unable to repair MFT you will have to use a commercial software to recover the files - GetDataBack or active @ File recovery. These are "try before you buy" software. If these show your files, you may be able to preview/open the files and check the file integrity. You can buy a license only when you are satisfied.
Alright sir. I"ll do the same process for the second partition.
Will photorec be able to recover data from these partitions or the one you shared are much better to recover?
You may try PhotoRec. The TestDisk website documentation on PhotoRec will show the file formats which can be recovered. Check the list. If you could recover, it will only be a bunch of files without the original folder structure and file names.
But first download the free trial version of GetDataBackpro and check whether it shows all your files in those partitions.

Thank you for your assistance. If I have any doubts I"ll disturb you again.
