TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery software! It 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 deleting a
Partition Table).
Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.
TestDisk can
* Fix partition table, recover deleted partition
*

*
Rebuild FAT12/
FAT16/FAT32 boot sector

TestDisk has features for both novices and experts. For those who know little or nothing about data recovery techniques, TestDisk 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.
