YUP..!! Always got this in my Toolbox. CMD line it may be, Which will probably edge some guys away. My main usage is to Write Boot sectors to Raw Disks, which saves "Hours" using File recovery S/w. 5*

Those moaning and groaning about errors, bugs, problems, etc. . . . you clearly didn't read the "beta" portion of the forum let alone the application release name.

I just upgraded it the other day and got some pictures off a friend's SD card from her camera. Works amazingly well and should be in any IT guy's arsenal of tools.

Had my 500G NTFS over written by Linux Ext3 250G partition by accident when it was plugged into the eSATA port of a Linux system. The entire data was lost. I use Testdisk to do a detailed search and the entire 500G data was recovered completely. It worked very well. A big thank you to the developer.

This program isn't very user friendly, but it's free and free is extremely rare in the data recovery world. That being said if you have a basic understanding of file systems, partitions, and drives you should be able to find your way around. I would give it a 5, but it doesn't yet support XLS and DOC natively.

Useful one! I saved my friends' disks a lot of times.Commandline style isn't welcomed by most people,but it's really easy to use and powerful.
One of my must-have tools!

Speaking of not understanding, belthurgp, you failed to understand hell0's comment. S/he didn't call TestDisk "garbage", but was referring to what was shown on the screen when it was run. Ah, it's so easy to insult people...
If you're such a computer guru, please explain what "CHS 36483 255 63hese symptoms" means! Particularly the "63hese" part. I seek your wisdom!

Get it, simple aas that.
I used this when a user managed to destroy the partition table of a 120GB HDD. I tried all manner of partition table tools, Stellar Phoenix etc (to try and save the data) with no luck.
Pulled out an older version of this and within 3 minutes i had the partition table back.
Didnt lose a single byte of data.
Been a fan ever since.
For a freeware tool, very few in any area of system tools are better than this.
