I have been working on fixing my bootcamp partition, but in the process I make a big mistake. I ran 'bootrec /fixmbr' and bootrec /fixboot on the wrong disk. My data is now inaccessible, if not lost.
I have ran testdisk and it has found a partition, but it does not see any files. Rather than cause more damage I decided to come here.
The disk worked fine before I ran those commands. It was formatted as exFat. I am in the process of backing up the partition right now before I try anything further.
I can post any info that is requested. I am not currently at the computer but will be soon. Thank you.
Edit - Here is some more info -

Current partition structure:
Partition Start End Size in sectors
1 * HPFS - NTFS 2048 1465145343 1465143296
Warning: Bad starting sector (CHS and LBA don't match)
Then
Warning: the current number of heads per cylinder is 1
but the correct value may be 128.
You can use the Geometry menu to change this value.
It's something to try if
- some partitions are not found by TestDisk
- or the partition table can not be written because partitions overlap.
