===========================


TestDisk was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally erasing your Partition Table).

TestDisk is a free and useful program which queries the BIOS ( DOS/Win9x) or the OS ( Linux, FreeBSD) in order to find the Hard Disks and their characteristics ( LBA size and CHS geometry). TestDisk does a quick check of your disk's structure and compares it with your Partition Table for entry errors. If the Partition Table has entry errors, TestDisk can repair them. If you have missing partitions or a completely empty Partition Table, TestDisk can search for partitions and create a new Table or even a new MBR if necessary.

However, it's up to the user to
look over the list of possible partitions found by TestDisk and to select the one(s) which were being used just before the drive failed to boot or the partition(s) were lost. In some cases, especially after initiating a detailed search for lost partitions, TestDisk may show partition data which is simply from the remnants of a partition that had been deleted and overwritten long ago.

TestDisk has features for both novices and experts. For those who know little or nothing about data recovery techniques, the command line parameters /log and /debug can be used to collect detailed information about a non-booting drive which can then be sent to a tech for further analysis. Those more familiar with such procedures should find TestDisk a handy tool in performing onsite recovery.

TestDisk can find lost partitions for all of these file systems:

· BeFS ( BeOS )
· BSD disklabel ( FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD )
· CramFS, Compressed File System
· DOS/Windows FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32
· HFS and HFS+, Hierarchical File System
· JFS, IBM's Journaled File System
· Linux Ext2 and Ext3
· Linux Raid
· RAID 1: mirroring
· RAID 4: striped array with parity device
· RAID 5: striped array with distributed parity information
· RAID 6: striped array with distributed dual redundancy information
· Linux Swap (versions 1 and 2)
· LVM and LVM2, Linux Logical Volume Manager
· Mac partition map
· Novell Storage Services NSS
· NTFS ( Windows NT/2K/XP/2003 )
· ReiserFS 3.5, 3.6 and 4
· Sun Solaris i386 disklabel
· Unix File System UFS and UFS2 (Sun/BSD/...)
· XFS, SGI's Journaled File System


What's New in This Release:

· TestDisk & PhotoRec 6.9 comes with numerous improvements
· EFI GUID Partition Table is now supported. EFI GPT is used mainly on Itanium, MacBook and Mac Pro
· Both utilities can use sudo if the user is not root, this functionnality will be enable for MacOSX at least so users won't have to go in command line. Under Linux, disk model is now displayed to help identify the media
· Internal card readers are now better supported under Windows
· TestDisk
· New filesystem support have been added: encrypted LUKS, Mac HFSX, Linux raid md 1.0/1.1/1.2 (0.9 was already supported)
· UFS, UFS2 filesystem are better identified now
· TestDisk 6.9 handles Mac partition table partially overwritten by an Intel partition
· It display unicode filenames correctly and can handle unicode filesname when copying files from an NTFS partition when supported by the underlying libraries. TestDisk warns if the media is in read-only instead of read-write access
· It's now possible to copy files from a delete FAT partition found by TestDisk (already possible for NTFS) without having to rewrite the partition table. In the advanced functionality, raw partition imaging capability have been added
· PhotoRec
· PhotoRec 6.9 can search for lost files in ext2/ext3 unallocated space only (Was available for FAT and NTFS)
· It has a better session support that allow a recovery to be strop and restart later. Windows forensics has been improved with the addition of Windows Enhanced MetaFile .emf (Printing), MS Windows Link .lnk, Internet Explorer index.dat (navigation history.
· New file formats are supported: Acronis True Image .tib, AutoCAD .dwg and PowerTab .ptb, Cineon image file/SMTPE DPX .dpx, Comic Life .comicdoc, HP Photosmart Photo Printing Album .albm, KeepAssX .kdb, Maya .mb and .mp, Microsoft OneNOte .one file, Micros
· It fixes Mac Adress Book and Outlook 64-bits .pst recovery and NTFS free space recovery
