(I've only used the DOS and CD-launched versions, BTW). My method has always been to have a spare system with at least two separate drive controller channels (important back in the days of IDE interfaces), with the drive to be recovered on the primary controller and the drive to receive recovered data on the secondary controller. The drive to be recovered is treated as read-only. If you read that somewhere, it was written by somebody who has never used TestDisk (or is devoid of technological common sense). If you are unable to recover the data your self you can still give the original disk to a professional Then do the data recovery work on the cloned disk. Ideally you should clone the disk using software like DDRescue (which can copy disks with bad blocks/sectors) I have had good luck with TestDisk/PhotoRecovery from cgi security (Windows & Linux versions available & No restrictions )įree version has limit to recovering 4000 files at a timeįee is very reasonable compared to some other companies Open Source indicates you get free access to the source code which is rare in data recovery and probably not important. Not absolutely clear if disk drive is internal SATA as some assumed or USB external driveįREE data recovery software (open source etc) (The WD version will check other brands and internal & USB) I havent seen a Toshiba version generally available I suggest you run the disk manufacturers Windows diagnostic software to check there is no physical damage first before data recovery.Īvailable from Seagate & Western Digital web sites
