Linux does not display sda2 (2nd partition on Disk1)
because it too doesn't see the file system on that partition (see screenshots).

I ran the following apps, with the following results:
MBR Wizard
- file system NTFS
- shows correct allocated sectors

cfdisk
- file system NTFS
- shows correct partition size

GParted
- file system unknown
- shows correct allocated sectors

winHex
- file system unknown
- shows correct sector count
- shows that there is data in the partition (log entry that I made the day of the "crash")
- shows that sector 0 of E: partition has been zero'd out

nfi
- "volume does not contain a file system"

EaseUS Partition Master
- says "unformatted"
- shows correct allocated sectors

Disk Investigator
- clueless
Bottom line: MBR Wizard and cfdisk both say there's a file system in the E: partition, but that's probably just because it says so in the partition table. The other apps appear to be actually looking for the file system in the partition, and not finding it, because Macrium apparently destroyed it for some inscrutable reason.
