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 your Partition Table).

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.

TestDisk can handle a massive list of file systems, and can be run under any of the following environments:

* DOS (either real or in a Windows 9x DOS-box),
* Windows (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003),
* Linux,
* FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
* SunOS and
* MacOS

While it’s not something to play with casually, TestDisk is exactly the kind of utility you want around when you run into trouble.
