Porteus

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). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.

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. 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.

EDIT: Tested on Porteus 2.0 KDE 64bits

Hi, when I load this module, both photorec and testdisk compain about lack of libntfs-3g.so.83

At the same time, I can mount some of my windows partitions with ntfs3g just fine.

in Porteus-2.1 i have bumped ntfs3g to latest version (2013.1.13) which seems to break testdisk. will recompile this package and push to official repo today.

thanks

thanks fanthom!

I confirm that it works, even used it to rescue lost partition
