There's  a decent chance if you create an extended partition, the EBR
signature will nuke whatever is in that gap, unless there was
originally an extended partition there, into which whatever you're
trying to recover had been created. So you either need to remember
what it was like before that partition was deleted, or you need to go
signature hunting (testdisk can probably do it).
