I installed TestDisk and it said it needed to be ran as root. Running fdisk gave:
Code:

Where sda1 is the windows partition and sdb1 is the back up disk. Sda5 is my 8.10 partition that I cannot boot into because Grub does not appear after booting My back up disk is mounted and I can read and write from it.
