Welcome to Linux Mint and the Linux Mint forum

The ticklers.org repos don't seem to be responding so disable them too and see what happens.

It looks like you checked CD ROM (Installation Disc) in Software Sources.

And do you define 'necessary changes'? Surely there is a simpler way! The changes are just the UUID's of the flash drive partitions as they will differ from the source machine's partitions. Also you can replicate a 20GIG / and 20GIG /home partition to a 32GIG flash since the total file usage was on...

Hello and welcome to Linux Mint and the Linux Mint forum

I'm surprised that windows blew away your linux partition :? Other than that slight omission of backups (note, plural) you seem to have done most of the sensible recovery things. But on that evidence you are between a rock and a hard place if testdisk/photorec can't help. I have to agree with syg00 ...
