Recover lost partitions and files with TestDisk

Last week a friend mailed me. She re-partitioned the harddrive and accidently removed two data partitions. Since I never had this kind of problem before I did some web research and quickly found a tool that I recommend today. I was able to recover 25GB on a "lost" partition within an hour :-)


  1. It is called TestDisk, runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux
  2. Runs on the command line
  3. Can be run from installed Operating Systems as well as on live media such as USB stick, CD, DVD, etc.
  4. A tutorial can be found on howtogeek.com
  5. The maker's website is on cgsecurity.com
Happy recovery!
