I didn't see an option on testdisk to find (and copy) files.
I only saw options to guess the correct partition table,
which in my case did not seem to work.

Actually, all the missing data is on extended partitions.
I think if I could find where /dev/sda4 begins
I might be able to determine where the logical partitions
inside /dev/sda4 start and end?
