PhotoRec recognizes and recovers numerous file formats including ZIP, Office, PDF, HTML, JPEG and various graphics file formats. If there is no data fragmentation, which is often the case, it can recover the whole file. PhotoRec searches for known file headers.

PhotoRec works with hard disks, CD-ROMs, memory cards (CompactFlash, Memory Stick, Secure Digital/SD, SmartMedia, Microdrive, MMC, etc.), USB memory drives, DD raw image, EnCase E01 image, etc. Unfortunately, PhotoRec isn't able to deal with this - that's why it doesn't work well with ReiserFS.

In order to increase performance, ReiserFS is able to store files inside the b*tree leaf nodes themselves, rather than storing the data somewhere else on the disk and pointing to it. ReiserFS includes some special optimizations centered around tails, a name for files and end portions of files that are smaller than a filesystem block. PhotoRec ignores the file system this way it works even if the file system is severely damaged.

Important: As soon as a picture or file is accidentally deleted, or you discover any missing, do NOT save any more pictures or files to that memory device or hard disk drive otherwise you may overwrite your lost data. You can download them from this link.įor more safety, PhotoRec uses read-only access to handle the drive or memory card you are about to recover lost data from. PhotoRec is a companion program to TestDisk, an application for recovering lost partitions on a wide variety of file systems and making non-bootable disks bootable again.
