I have a 500GB HDD that will only boot into grub rescue. It appears the partition table has become corrupt as fdisk is reporting one partition being 3.6T. I have run testdisk (results below) but not sure how to proceed, all i need to be able to do is mount the partition to get some files off it.

The harddisk (500 GB / 465 GiB) seems too small! ( Linux 1144 87 32 8645 91 22 120503808
