Yeah... I dont know why what happened happened. I simply installed a new NVME drive, which took up the SATA slot for the HDD, so I had to shutdown the pc, and reconnect it to another SATA slot. I turned the PC on, and voila, everything was more screwed in that HDD than id ever seen. I think...

I see. Very interesting. So all should be good otherwise? I shouldnt touch anything else in regards to the sectors that look like boot sectors?

View: https://imgur.com/a/UYxReLW So, this is what I have managed to create. My file tree is currently back, and the files seem to work as intended. Let me know if anything appears off, the 367mb partition in FAT32 did not appear to be possible to remove, so I just left it there. Seems to be...

I can, with a warning saying "Boot sector is not found or incorrect/incompatible. Partition will be detected as not formatted." and a Yes/No button.

It seems to only allow me to remove $Volume 01 GUID FAT32 3.0TB. Upon highlighting $Volume 01 FAT32 367MB, there is no remove button. A green square on the original 3.0TB FAT32 line appeared.

I see. I have recovered some files that are important (Backed up photos) Those seem to work and load correctly. 95% of the other files are games (fortunately) that can be redownloaded. What should the next step be?

My only question here is, is it worth it to try and fix the partition structure? I would have to move all files back onto the HDD anyway, right? Given this in mind, wouldnt it be simpler and safer to fully wipe the drive and repartition it?

Got it. Currently in the process of recovering a folder. Should recovery work, is it best to recover all files, then completely wipe and re-format the HDD?

Further, if you have solutions and would like to hop onto a discord call or something of the sort to make all easier, I would not have an issue with that, and I could at minimum stream my screen for you

I can only hope that this means it is fixable?

Yes I do

View: https://imgur.com/a/cYlnboM Sure. I hope this is what you were looking for? I could not figure out how to display all drives, so the one in question is displayed. Now that youve shown me this software as well, I can see that the correct partition is indeed there (Gary 3TB).
