Like I said it was the worst partition destruction I have had in 15 years. It happened instantly and no program could properly recover the file system index (?). All the unnamed files are a nightmare and more than a human can comprehend.

Maybe a Linux forum could get you better help with Scalpel. It just sounds like you are down to reading RAW data and trying to reconstruct files.

***Gparted is the weakest of the partition programs but you could that a quick try but if TestDisk couldn't help I doubt Gparted will see anything.
