I'd previously installed Vista on the second drive and uninstalled, formatted, and let Linux Mint do all the partitioning. Due to fat finger syndrome I selected write to mbr instead of the partition The XP version helped me recover my xp mbr/partition table and the partition table of one of my USB hard drives, I will now hopefully recover my second hard drive with Linux Mint on it. pet, I'd been searching everywhere for this utility. The Package contains BOTH apps, although named only testdisk.Īfter installing simply start them with testdisk and photorec from a terminal. PhotoRec ignores the file system and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your media's file system has been severely damaged or reformatted. PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from hard disks, CD-ROMs, and lost pictures (thus the Photo Recovery name) from digital camera memory. Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy. Testdisk is 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). Reading ravensrest post i thought this might be a nice pet (also the binaries run without compiling)
