What is your ultimate goal? Opening the TC-container and recovering the files inside, I suppose.
Without being an expert on this domain, I suggest you should consider the following:
- If the filesystem is broken (correct ?), one can only recover files in it by searching for their headers; since a TC-container does not have a header, that is going to be a difficult one
- you could look at entropy, to make a more educated guess
- If I understand it correctly, you want to try each sector as if it was a TC-header;
- Since you are talking about 200GB, are we sure that the file is on a continuous way saved by the file system? Or is it fragmented? If it is fragmented, I won't even bother to try to recreate the container
