Thanks Stephane for the suggestion.

v7 is available from:


http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download

It did a great of restoring my partitions, but I can't yet boot up. I
get a 'Windows failed to start' msg...

File: /Boot/BCD does not contain a valid OS entry. I'll plod on trying
to fix this but at least my filesystem is back.
