OK, if you don't want to recover anything from the PS3 partition we shall leave it at that and try and recover whatever is there in the rest. Since we are not going to make any changes to the drive, the bootice plan is shelved.
As Slartybart rightly guessed earlier run PhotoRec. Guide to using PhotoRec recovery software.
Go to the Topic Recovery in the above guide.
Select whole disk in the appropriate screen.
Select only the file types you are interested and see whether you can get those.
If you can see the files you can then copy those to another external drive. That drive should be connected before you run PhotoRec. ( PhotoRec is safe to run. Do not run Testdisik.exe)
I shall leave it to Slarty to guide you. He is as good or even better than me on PhotoRec.
Yep, I am getting incoherent. Off now leaving it to Slarty. Thank you Slarty for the support.
