The harddisk (251 GB / 233 GiB) seems too small! (< 306 GB / 285 GiB)
Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...

Select each MS Data entry and use "P: List files". Do not use left/right arrows at all. Only use up/down arrow keys to navigate partitions and look for files. For each partition that has familiar files, not down start/end/size and continue to the next MS Data partition till you have looked at all MS data entries.
Please see Can't boot from bootcamp after sudden crash for the recovery examples. You also should download GPT Fdisk from SourceForge.

Did you look at the other thread/discussion where Testdisk and Gdisk are used with the steps to recreate the GPT and check each entry? If not, please take a look.
This looks like the best candidate

not really, can i have the link from you?
thanks!!!

i dont know wt to do up to this step..
After 'd' and '4' do a 'w' for write, and then 'y' to confirm it has been deleted. Use 'p' to print and check that there is no GPT 4.
It still has partition 4 in memory, so you cannot pick an overlapping first sector.
Thanks,
then i should type in 196718600 for the first sector and 343476224 for the last?
am i correct?
