What if the data is overwritten
I've been using testdisk for years. One memorable time was when a customer brought in a camera with an SD card that had a corrupt partition. I was able to recover the last pictures taken of her grandmother.
When I end up stuck in the year 2000 with some computer issue, Your channel always gets me back to the future! Thanks for all your awesome content!
Lifesaver!!! Love the simplicity of this software. Worked perfect to recover deleted .MOV files from my cameras SD Card
You really SAVED my life ! I was watching tutorials the whole day trying to restore my pictures back and I was about to format my SD card not knowing if i was going to be able to restore my pictures until i got to find your video ! Just THANK YOU you saved 10 years of my family's pictures
I have a corrupted memory card that I've been trying to recover photos from for years, thanks for this! This is how I recovered everything
Fantastic video, I have been trying in many days but at the end, it saved me a lot of time and money. Thanks Britec for sharing !
THIS WORKS! recovered my microsd card with 116 gb of memories
Absolutely brilliant. I will be donating for sure.
Hello, I'd like to give my sincerly THANKS to you! Just of now I had a lot of problems running Windows 11 on my PC (Pretty high-end one) and i had to diskpart clean my SSD to clear the format , but i mistyped wrong disk in the command and I lost my brick HDD which held a lot of pictures and videos gathered for few years. This works like a charm!
Thank you so much. I could recover microsd card files of our Switzerland trip. It was priceless. God bless you.
Awesome, thank you Britec, Ill use this one for my photos. Ill put it in my Tools folder
You are a lifesaver!!! imagine I finished a shoot for a celebrity and his family and only to discover the memory card is corrupt..... God knows have tried all means till I came across your channel. God bless you real good man
I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you for your work.

i accidentally deleted all my photos and this works !!! thankyou so much 😭😭
thanks for sharing, God bless you! Happy New year
I've just realised I could've used this to recover files from the SD card that got corrupted and I gave to my mum along with my phone. But I think I've formatted it by now... Dang. I would've really liked those physique progress pics...
thank You so much..100% worked..u saved my 1 month of work
Thx for the detailed Video, whats about format with no qick format
this is incredible, thank you so much
Thank you for this free software yet again great information,
thank you, as a repair technician i use R-Studio data recovery a lot, very high succes rate, and the possiblitiy to look for files without scanning first, supports all file systems mac win linux, maybe you can make a video from this
This is really awesome.....You saved my life bro.......Thank you so much.....
This thing absolutely does recover files. I just hope it can get the video files I was after. I'm finding old memes I deleted, but so far, no video file has popped up. If no such thing appears from the USB drive or the SSD, I guess I'll just have to figure out if those 32kB .gz files are transfer packets and if I can use those to reassemble the video.
Really useful and really free unlike many others !!!
Thank you man it worked I got all my pictures back
The is the best video regarding data recovering and free software.
Always great to find new tools. Thank you!
Thank you for the tips!

i can't thank you enough. this is such a life saver
It's amazing,it worked.thanks a lot.🙏🙏🙏
bro this is such a lifesaver. thank you
Yes i did God bless you brother ❤️
Thank you very much :)
Not used this one, but it looks far easier than manually using a disk editor and chaining the non-contiguous blocks up manually like done in the days of yesteryear...
Amazing material👍

Thanks a lot for your amazing video. My technician deleted the partition of my ssd hard drive and then fomated it. Is there any chance I can still recover my files on this ssd hard drive?
You are Awesome! :)
Can't thank you enough. Spent hours installing software that claimed it was free only to find out they charge. For you, I liked, subbed and shared and for the software creator, I will donate some money which is the first time I've actually ever donated for freeware software. That is how much I appreciate no being raked over the coals to recover important files. My issue was copying over drone video files from an aerial shoot and halfway through the copy from a brand new SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB micro SD card to my computer, I started getting errors saying files weren't there. So I guess the partition somehow got corrupted. I've never seen that before so is that a bad micro SD card or just an rare anomaly?

Thank you so much for this video and how to use the GUI of testdisk and photorec. I had been downloading software from all over the place and found it was either payware or more than likely containing a virus. I'm in the process of recovering my external hard drive. Thumbs up, thank you again :)

This program honestly is bloody fantastic!! Little hack for anyone trying to recover footage from a dvr - go into the file type selection bit and make sure "dovecot" is selected, the files can be converted in VLC after recovery to get the video to playback as normal 👌

Does this recover files that were emptied from recycle bin? I might have missed that part. I'm on my other PC trying to find a good recovery program for it. Thanks for the video!!

Nice video. Thanks for making it. My problem was that my harddisk wouldn't spin but I had also an exactly same harddisk than is working so I thought that would be easy sollution. Switch the motherboard on de HD and yes after I done that the hadrdisk would spin again. So I thought I was done but NO. If the BIOS on the HD Motherboard is not the correct one (original) the BIOS on the motherboard of the computer will not see the harddisk so I still can not access it. I'am trying loads of software and most programs see the phisicaldrive but still I can not recover the data. 😭 I'am now running PhotoRec for about an hour but it has not find anything. It is looking for only MP4. You mentioned a program GetDataBack but if I search for it I get multiple options. Can you give the right link please. Maybe you know an other way to solve my problem. If so please can you give me some advice. Regards Han
Using it for my Macbook M1 to recover a Seagate external drive and it says "You need to be in root to use PhotoRec" and tells me there ware no hard drives found. Where can I go from there?
anyway to recover only a certain directory? i dont need the whole drive as it says the size is 2048 GB but its only a 1TB drive and i only have like 100 gigs free on my recovery drive, i just need the files not the whole drive
Do you have any suggestions for Android? I need to recover a photo from my phone and the programs are very expensive
Good vid Brian. Are the recovered file names original or generated by the software? It can be a real time consuming task to rename the files as you made them. I use Wondershare Recoverit. It was the best IMHO against 3 others including yours. Why? Because it has the least amount of hits with "lost file name". Can you imagine renaming video and music files manually? Hint: The file's metadata might bail you out as to what file it is. G'day Mate 👍
