  • Data Recovery on a Formatted Drive with TestDisk
    TestDisk & PhotoRec Download:
    www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDi...
    TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.
    TestDisk can
    * Fix partition table, recover deleted partition
    * Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup
    * Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector
    * Fix FAT tables
    * Rebuild NTFS boot sector
    * Recover NTFS boot sector from its backup
    * Fix MFT using MFT mirror
    * Locate ext2/ext3 Backup SuperBlock
    * Undelete files from FAT, NTFS and ext2 filesystem
    * Copy files from deleted FAT, NTFS and ext2/ext3 partitions.
    TestDisk has features for both novices and experts. For those who know little or nothing about data recovery techniques, TestDisk can be used to collect detailed information about a non-booting drive which can then be sent to a tech for further analysis. Those more familiar with such procedures should find TestDisk a handy tool in performing onsite recovery.
    Operating systems
    TestDisk can run under
    * DOS (either real or in a Windows 9x DOS-box),
    * Windows (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, Windows 7),
    * Linux,
    * FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
    * SunOS and
    * MacOS X
    Source files and precompiled binary executables are available for DOS, Win32, MacOSX and Linux from the download page
    Filesystems
    TestDisk can find lost partitions for all of these file systems:
    * BeFS ( BeOS )
    * BSD disklabel ( FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD )
    * CramFS, Compressed File System
    * DOS/Windows FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32
    * Windows exFAT
    * HFS, HFS+ and HFSX, Hierarchical File System
    * JFS, IBM's Journaled File System
    * Linux ext2 and ext3
    * Linux LUKS encrypted partition
    * Linux RAID md 0.9/1.0/1.1/1.2
    o RAID 1: mirroring
    o RAID 4: striped array with parity device
    o RAID 5: striped array with distributed parity information
    o RAID 6: striped array with distributed dual redundancy information
    * Linux Swap (versions 1 and 2)
    * LVM and LVM2, Linux Logical Volume Manager
    * Mac partition map
    * Novell Storage Services NSS
    * NTFS ( Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 )
    * ReiserFS 3.5, 3.6 and 4
    * Sun Solaris i386 disklabel
    * Unix File System UFS and UFS2 (Sun/BSD/...)
    * XFS, SGI's Journaled File System

    is there a way to get the original name of these files and the original root system?
    and it seems like that nearly all files have been splitted to a lot of .txt files.

    very easy to use ( although the cmd line sounds daunting ) if you read carefully... I was able to install it while the video was playing... and was already copying 2 mins into the video. A life saviour! Thanks

    • @TS950SDX
      @TS950SDX 3 месяца назад

      How long did it take to save a terabyte? Scanning a terabyte drive now time stated is 2186hours but the drive only has 300gb of data used. I have tried loads of software but they either fail or complete and then ask for the big pay out. The reason for the recovery is a WD Passport drive which keeps loosing the man partition. Please tell me that i do not have to wait 2000 plus hours. Cheers

      @@marshallhyasi6213 We were recording videos for our church and I was told to delete the first takes, so I formatted the SD card. Later we realized we needed those clips back but too late.. until I found this program. I knew the videos were still on there because they were at the end of the card and we started recording again at the beginning, but for some reason no other recovery software could locate them. I am very grateful for this program but hopefully I never end up in a situation in which I'll need to use it again lol

    It took 8 hours for me to get to this point where I can actually recovery my files.
    Never take product advice for data recovery unless it is for a program you already knew about; I had used Testdisk in the past, but this time I wanted to try a nice and simple program that'd be just hit a button and go.
    It took me quite a while to realize that there wasn't a data recovery utility in DriveImage XML. Although it can be a useful program, it wasn't.
    I was straight up reccomended the Pareto Data recovery. People didn't mention the "pro" part in the name, and it threw up a paywall after it had taken hours to scan my drive.
    At the current point of time, I've found some rather crazy photos; usually blurred up, small resolutions, and containing people I've never recognized.

    So I was trying to install Linux Mint Cinnamon on a already partitioned drive, but Linux either glitched out, or it was not showing me the proper drive. I noted the exact size on windows of this drive, and it matched in linux, but somehow, formatted another drive instead! So now using this program, I cannot see any windows anything, only shows as a Linux boot partition, which is odd because it never installed linux on it. Said there was a partition problem and to change/fix it in the partition menu. So not sure how this could of happened. Is there any way I can recover the drive???

    Hi. Thanks for your movie. I've thought I'll lose all my pictures and other memories from Mass Storage Device. It will be proceed for almost 11 hours yet, but I already have many pictures saved. Regards
