I was working on a LibreOffice Writer document when my computer turned off. No problem there, I booted up, went back into LibreOffice and it gave the option to recover everything. I left the document up on my computer and a family member came by, closed it and hit Don't save. I had never officially saved it yet I believe.
I see that by going to .config/libreoffice/4/user/backup, it looks like I can view LibreOffice documents that are being "autosaved" until I officially save them (or "don't save" them). That leads me to believe it may be possible to recover this document since it was at least autosaved there before. Would I just go to advanced options in testdisk, and from there select the large partition (I only have one SSD), and then read through the list? Will testdisk pay attention to these autosaved LibreOffice documents that were temporarily in a backup folder until the user decided to oficially save?
The photorec terminal program can selectively recover files based on their filetype(s), for example it can recover only .odt documents, but photorec/testdisk can't selectively scan an individual directory for lost files unless you had mounted a whole hard drive partition as this directory. In some cases, the filename is stored in the file itself. PhotoRec tries to recover the filename in this case, but most of the time PhotoRec can't recover the filenames.
I tried to make an image copy of my dying HDD, but it was getting too big, so I aborted the mission. When I tried again, it got stuck.The first one, with R-Drive Image, was about 150 Gb and the system didn't save it to the bin. But I do have a 32 Mb ISO copy of the second, made with HD Clone.
As the HDD died later on, I wondered if there is a way to see what's inside this 32 Mb and if there's a way to get it back. Moreover, if using a good data repair program I could recover those important 150 GB and do the same.
On Windows you might need to modify the command line, or perhaps run it from a terminal window too. The TestDisk Step By Step page has a brief section on Running TestDisk Executable that mentions using disk images.
Or if there isn't enough filesystem for TestDisk to read or repair, it's more likely PhotoRec might recover at least some files. It's run basically the same way as TestDisk above, (see PhotoRec Step By Step) just tell it to examine the image file
If your first 150GB image hasn't been completely overwritten yet, you might possibly recover some files by using testdisk on the drive the image was deleted from, in case the image file is un-delete-able. Or run photorec on just the free space of that drive, and it might find some files, or perhaps the image itself.
In the future, I'd use gddrescue instead, it's quite good at skipping over the very bad sectors of a failing drive, or reading "backwards", etc, but you do need enough space for the whole disk or partition being rescued.
In this article, we will show you how to recover deleted files in Linux using the TestDisk data recovery tool. To use testdisk, you must have TestDisk installed on your Linux system using our article: How to Install and Use TestDisk Data Recovery Tool in Linux.
Note: The Testdisk utility tool is beginner-friendly; it offers suggestions to the options on each screen. Choose the recommended options (highlighted). Press up and arrow keys to switch between the different options.
After selecting your drive, the next task is to identify the correct partition table. For beginners, it can be hard to identify the correct partition table type but you need not worry about this. The system will automatically predict and highlight the best choice.
Testdisk utility will then display a list of locations that you can paste your copied file in order to recover it. Again, select the destination by scrolling and just like before, press C to paste it. In this case, the file is copied into the Public directory.
Hi, I managed to accidentally delete 4 months of my drawings and then empty the trash. I followed the steps and used testdisk to copy the deleted folder to another destination, but none of the files which had been inside been listed, either in the original location or the location where the folder was restored to. The folder is empty.
Why does it not show as 16gb drive? The drive was formatted in Fat32 and has a raspbian OS installed. Gparted shows the drive as 512kib and filesystem and partition as unallocated. Can any files still be recovered somehow?
I have used PhotoRec to bulk recover thousands of deleted/lost picture files. PhotoRec and TestDisk have been written by the same author and perform a similar functions.
The PhotoRec program worked great. HOWEVER, it assigned its own names to the recovered files. All the files had the correct extension (.JPEG, .GIF, .PNG, etc) but the names started with a lower case alpha character, followed by 9 digits. I had to rename each image to a meaningful name based on its content.
So, my only observation on your tutorial is that you were focused on files, but a little parenthesis on how to recover folders would have helped me so much more, but as I said before, somethings must be learned by oneself.
PhotoRec uses its own naming convention. You have to rename the files to meaningful names based on their content. I know it is a time-consuming chore. I recovered thousands of image files and am trying to identify them. Unfortunately, at this point, I do not remember where or why I took a particular picture so it is hard to properly name them.
Ok, James, I tried another one of my notebook computers, running Mint 18. I deleted a couple of files and when I ran Testdisk, it did not show the deleted files (nothing highlighted in red) in the directory I deleted the files from.
Ok James, I think I finally figured out that after clicking on the Advanced option, I then had to select the proper partition of the hard drive, then choose the directory of the partition, where the deleted file was located.

So what can you do when you lose data to an abrupt shutdown, improper formatting, or even a virus on your disk? The answer is simple, data recovery software. In this article, I will be reviewing TestDisk, which is a powerful recovery tool that can help you safeguard your data from the nightmare of corrupt partitions and disk failures.
With TestDisk, you can recover HFS, exFAT, ext2, ext3, ext4, HFS, JFS, FAT32, NTFS, and many more filesystems. But what if the data you lost to a damaged partition is a media file? Fortunately, there is a solution for that as well.
TestDisk has a satellite software known as PhotoRec. This tool specializes in reading and recovering media files like photos and videos from storage devices. It is designed to work on over 440 recorded filesystems, including JPG, PNG, PDF, Microsoft Office files, OpenOffice files, TXT, and much more. Combined together, TestDisk and PhotoRec form a powerful data recovery utility that can recover almost any file type.
At HandyRecovery, we always keep reviewing the performance and usability of popular data recovery applications. You can check out our first-hand software tests including our review of PhotoRec for more information.Multiple Operating System SupportBoth TestDisk and PhotoRec support multiple operating systems. Apart from recovering deleted files in Windows 10, both software can also recover files from macOS, macOS X, Linux, and many ARM-based platforms. In fact, they even support DOS/Win9x!
These support forums are available in various languages such as English, French, Spanish, German, etc. So you can always refer to the subforums in your native language and get all the help you need in using TestDisk.
For this test, I installed the latest Patch of TestDisk on a Windows PC. It may seem complicated and lengthy to recover your lost data using TestDisk, but once you know the correct steps, the recovery process is pretty straightforward. Follow the steps mentioned below to recover your lost disk partition.
Since both the software are open-source, you can download the source code for free as well. So by any chance, if you are a developer, it opens up many possibilities for modifications and enhancement to the existing versions.
Since TestDisk is not hidden behind a paywall of any sort, a lot of people have first-hand access to it. So naturally, the software has gained a lot of user reviews that help the developers to fine-tune its features. If you refer to online forum reviews, you will find many satisfied users who were able to recover lost partitions and deleted data by using TestDisk.
That being said, the software does have its fair share of flaws that are pointed out by many users as well. First and foremost, many people found the command-line interface of TestDisk discouraging. Even though data recovery is fairly straightforward, many users stated that the interface barricaded them from using other features.
Despite having to refer to the TestDisk Guide webpage numerous times, I was eventually able to navigate through the command-line structure to perform the partition recovery. It was certainly not an enjoyable experience and I suspect that many users would have given up and searched for another alternative to fix their lost partition. (Odysseas, Clever Files)
Once you have downloaded TestDisk from the official website, set a destination and extract the downloaded folder there. Now, open the extracted folder and navigate the file testdisk_win. Run it to launch TestDisk on your Windows PC.
