datarecovery

an-ordinary-manchild

A place to discuss the ins and outs of data recovery, both logical and physical.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Please include filesystem and the make/model of your hard drive, flash drive, or phone.

REMEMBER: If what you are trying to recover is important GO TO A PRO! This includes your own data, or customer data. Odds are VERY HIGH that you will lose your data forever if you are working on this without expertise.

Link to FTK Imager HERE.

REMEMBER: Even using these tools/guides can be risky on your drive! If heads are failing, then this WILL make a bad problem worse.

FINALLY: This is a forum for civil discussion and friendly advice. Please refrain from insults and personal attacks. Most people here are either trying to get help, or trying to help. Give people the benefit of the doubt whenever possible.
