GREAT NEWS! Managed to get my files back

I tried the latest version of RDBrecov in WinUAE and this worked like a charm (see first attachment). Note that this says CylSectors 4033. I then went to HDToolBox. Selected "Change Drive Type", then "Define New" and finally "Read Configuration". Here I noticed that "Blocks per Track" and "Blocks per Cylinder" is 4034!! (see second screenshot). I do not know why HDToolBox put 1 extra here. I changed this to 4033. I then went to Partition Drive. Enter the values returned by RDBrecov and I got my files back!

So in short the problem seems to have been that HDToolBox was recognized "Blocks per Track" and "Blocks per Cylinder" is 4034 rather than 4033 as RDBrecov. Luckily RDBrecov returned the correct value.

A big thank you to you thomas and mark_k for all the help!! I really would have given up if it was not for all your help!

Really big thanks
