Yeah, I know, LoL, still with this issue right? So, here's the deal: I've been busy with a bunch of stuff and was about to give up on this when I remembered files that I now need so I figured I'd give it a shot and got into my head to plug in the original un-bricked drive just to see if testdisk would find anything on it, as opposed to the clone. In testdisk after the initial search I now found the following: >L, FAT16, LBA, 22947, 1 , 1 , 60799 , 254 63 , 600108382 Basically I'm now jumping back in the thread in response to your post #26, reporting back before I do anything else... ...standing by... PS. The commas in the string above are only there to give distance between numbers, they obviously don't appear in test disk.
