I am in the midst of trying testdisk to recover a borked dual boot system, and have a specific question to testdisk .. it seems it doesn't like any combos I enter of Primary & Logical labeling.. and I do not get any option to label any of my partitions extended.. any ideas why?

I know Windows can be my Primary.. so I set the following to P, but then the only good combo after that is to set Linux to Logical and Delete my Swap
are there any combinations that can just get me back into Windows or Linux.. if I cannot crack fixing my dualboot?
