Recovered files are written in :file:`recup_dir.1`, :file:`recup_dir.2`. During pass 1 and later, files are recovered including some fragmented files.This step is skipped when searching files from the unallocated space only, the block size value found in the filesystem structure is used. During pass 0, PhotoRec searches the first 10 files to determine the block size.Recovery in progress Number of recovered files is updated in real time. macOS: Partitions from external disk are usually mounted in :file:`/Volumes`.Īvoid choosing a FAT32 filesystem for the destination as it doesn't handle file over 4 GB.Mount your destination drive if necessary. Linux: File system from external disk may be available in a :file:`/media`, :file:`/mnt` or :file:`/run/media` sub-directory.Validate with Y es when you get the expected destination. Dos/Windows/Os2: To get the drive list ( :file:`C:`, :file:`D:`, :file:`E:`, etc.), use the arrow keys to select :file:`.`, press the Enter key - repeat until you can select the drive of your choice.Use the arrow keys (up, down, left, right) to navigate, you can also use the enter key to enter into a directory. Select where recovered files should be writtenĬhoose the directory where the recovered files should be written. With this option only deleted files are recovered. from the unallocated space only (available for ext2/ext3/ext4, FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 and NTFS).from the whole partition (useful if the filesystem is corrupted) or.Carve the partition or unallocated space only Unless it is an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem, choose Other. Once a partition has been selected and validated with Search, PhotoRec needs to know how the data blocks are allocated. So disabling too many file formats leads to numerous overlarge files. For the others, PhotoRec stops appending data to the file it is currently recovering when a new file header is found.

The whole list of file formats recovered by PhotoRec contains more than 300 file families representing more than 480 file extensions.įor some file formats, PhotoRec can determine the original filesize from the file header.

zip zip archive including OpenOffice and MSOffice 2007 tif Tag Image File Format and some raw file formats (pef/nef/dcr/sr2/cr2) In FileOpts, enable or disable the recovery of certain file types, for example, riff RIFF audio/video: wav, cdr, avi Do not use this option unless absolutely necessary. It may be needed for large file systems that are heavily fragmented.

Enable Low memory if your system does not have enough memory and crashes during recovery.

Enable Keep corrupted files to keep files even if they are invalid in the hope that data may still be salvaged from an invalid file using other tools.

original partitions are lost) or a reformatted partition, if PhotoRec has found very few files, you may want to try the minimal value that PhotoRec let you select (it's the sector size) for the block size (0 will be used for the offset). Each filesystem has his own block size (a multiple of the sector size) and offset (0 for NTFS, exFAT, ext2/3/4), these value are fixed when the filesystem has been created/formatted.

The expert mode option allows the user to force the file system block size and the offset.

Enable bruteforce if you want to recover more fragmented JPEG files, note it is a very CPU intensive operation, it's started after the normal scan process.

Paranoid By default, recovered files are verified and invalid files rejected.

File Opt to modify the list of file types recovered by PhotoRec.

Search after selecting the partition that holds the lost files to start the recovery,.

Hint for macOS: If available, use raw device :file:`/dev/rdisk*` instead of :file:`/dev/disk*` for faster data transfer.

Use up/down arrow keys to select your hard drive with the lost partition/s.

Use up/down arrow keys to select the disk that holds the lost files.

Start PhotoRecĪvailable media are listed. If you do,ĭeleted files may be overwritten by new ones. Remember, you must avoid writing anything on the filesystem that was holding the data. PhotoRec is a signature based file recovery utility (a file carver) and may be able to recover your data where other methods failed. PhotoRec doesn't recover the original filenames or the file structure but it can recover lost files even from corrupted filesystem.
