everything started with xp, but no partitions are visible on my computer
xp does not know how to see gpt, so it starts (does not see it). 7 knows how to see, but apparently the disk is damaged, and therefore can not start with it.
need another disk with enough free space for recovered files
Recovery of damaged information from hard drives (Post znznznz # 47316435)(there are manuals on links there)
-in the composition of testdisk-there is PhotoRec (restores files from a damaged disk and puts them in folders by extension, but does not save the folder structure, but adds everything in a row (for example, all the photos restored will be in the jpg folder).
here it is first of all better to run it on xp - to restore files (just in case, before doing anything else)
-then you can run testdisk on xp, and if the gpt table is restored, then in 7-ke the disk should open after reboot as usual
ps if there is a lot of space on another disk, you can first try to backup Acronis from the LiveOs partition (backup will be about 2 times less than the size of the occupied space on the saved partition) - this is in case you can repeat it.
Usually, I never bothered with backup like this, and PhotoRec only used it to restore broken photos, and immediately tested it with TestDisc, but it always got ridiculous - “what if it doesn’t work out”
