Thanks! Things don't always go as they should when I rush through commands -
especially those I am not familiar with. It's crystal clear now.

I am getting the same errors as before:
==========================================
# mount -t vfat -o loop /tmp/r1 /mnt/sda1
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
==========================================
No matter if I use vfat, msdos, or ntfs. It seems to me that I need to
reconstruct the hex of the partition table - but don't know how to do this
and testdisk does not see the device to recover previous partition tables.
What now?
