If there is no data fragmentation, which is often the case, it can recover the whole file. The program searches for known file headers. It works with hard disks, CD-ROMs, memory cards (CompactFlash, Memory Stick, Secure Digital/SD, SmartMedia, Microdrive, MMC, etc.), USB memory drives, DD raw image, EnCase E01 image, etc. This means that while using PhotoRec, you must not choose to write the recovered files to the same partition they were stored on. Important: As soon as a picture or file is accidentally deleted, or you discover any missing, do NOT save any more pictures or files to that memory device or hard disk drive otherwise you may overwrite your lost data.
PhotoRec is a companion program to TestDisk, an application for recovering lost partitions on a wide variety of file systems and making non-bootable disks bootable again.įor more safety, the PhotoRec photo recovery app uses read-only access to handle the drive or memory card you are about to recover lost data from. The app 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 for Windows PC 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.
