Beyond that, however, the discussion captures the situation of a user flailing around, trying to get his arms around a mass of data. This was a saga of approaching a massive number of recovered files and non-files from multiple perspectives, to develop a sense of the data source and of what I could get from it. I used this opportunity to explore some data recovery options - emphasis on “explore.” This was not a scientific analysis. (See also an earlier post addressing somewhat similiar issues.) So now the question was whether anything could be recovered.
That combination of steps apparently wrecked the previous partition and also failed to create a new partition. It seemed that it had been accidentally reformatted - and then, before the format finished, realizing the error, the machine was powered down. Previously, it had been a bootable Windows XP drive. I had a screwed-up hard disk drive (HDD).
