Couple of other questions and situation update:
- there were not writes to the disk - this is good I think
Yes.
- is the photorec able to search data in this partition table
corruption level?
Read the tool's homepage. But I'm pretty sure it just looks at the
bits on the drive and saves any collection of said bits which match
specification for a jpeg, doc &c file. I.E. no remaining filesystem
is needed, it does exactly what you need (although filenames aren't
preserved. I don't know about the other suggestions, so they might be
worth trying first.
- I'm going to buy a new disk and to make dd of the corrupted one
Very wise!!
Do this FIRST! BEFORE you do anything else. Then you can always dd
the drive back to its current state and try a different method if the
first fails.
