I've used some tools to recover deleted partition and the result was like I can see almost all files, I had before, but it seems that files are shifted - something like this: I can't open images, but when I open big video file I can see video of other file, which was in same folder and it starts from the middle of it... As far as i remember, when i was using testdisk, I used some default value of geometry, maybe it's the problem of this...

is it possible to do something?

A: 

From test disk manual;

How to find the correct number of heads?
If the HD geometry mismatches the geometry used when creating the partition table, warning messages such as: Bad sector count, Bad relative sector or Bad ending head are displayed when Analyse is selected from the main menu. If you see such errors, you may need to use the Geometry menu to change the logical number of heads. Try 255, 16, 32, 64, 128 and 240 heads until TestDisk finds all your partitions. 255 and 240 are the most common head values. If you installed Linux as the only OS on your hard drive, it tends to default to only 16 heads.

A: 

If test disk is struggling, you may want to try findpart and findntfs:

Make a list of all files and their IDs;

findntfs * 1 1 1 files files.txt

Where * is the drive you are trying to recover from, numbered from 1, in the order they appear in computer-management.

Recover id 117;

findntfs 2 0 1 1 copy 117

The files will be copied to current directory, and to subdirectories to current directory.
