thank you so much man... I just recovered 900GB of priceless data that has been sitting on a hard drive for 10 years. I had the hope that someday I'd have the time to recover it and this video helped. Thank you!!!!

my man...you are a Godsend!!! I read the entire step-by-step Wiki and was so confused! I was able to do everything up to copying the partition data. I just didn't see the drive locations to paste the copied files to 😀 Thank you so much David! Saved some very important memories ❤

This not only saved me some money but a ton of time! Thanks

thank you for the tutorial. i knew there must be open-source, free software out there for recovering data. i think i've found my favorite!

Just saved a whole bunch of data on a Windows boot drive. Nice software; I used the Linux version as the Windows OS refused to recognize the drive. Thanks for the video.

bro that was awesome. fire tutorial. now gotta let this thing sit for ever...

Thank you sir, a free option that is indeed working...way too many scam sites out there with a lot of complaints.

Thanks for the detail instructions.

Thanks - I was able to recover my files from a removable drive that Windows would not recognize. Got em all!👍

thanks sir! your video was the key to success for me

Thank you for saving my all of my work that is over 400 GB

Thank you so much, you just saved my drive

Best tutorial for this type of things

Thank You for help ... My problem got solved .... You saved me 👍

T hank you, this was a real help

thank you!

Thank you!

I followed your guide. I saw my files listed there. I copy a file (10GB single file) before fixing the partition table. Now it seems it is taking forever to copy. Currently the screen shows "Copying, please wait... 0 ok, 0 failed". Task manager shows my faulty disk (currently on a USB3.0 case) usage at 100% while the destination disk (the file to be pasted to) hovering at 0 to 2%. It doesn't look normal to me. Should I continue to wait? Or should I cancel it via Ctrl+C (or whatever keyboard combo to cancel it) and proceed with the partition table fix first?

I am on a live Ubuntu CD ... using testdisk for lost data recovery... i copied the files but i did not get them on the directory they are saved ....

Amazing Thanks

Exellent sir😊

When I press P on my damaged partition, it says that "can't open file system. Filesystem seems damaged"

UPDATE: It showed up, but I think it's lagging because I hit enter but nothing is happening, and it doesn't respond to using arrows... My hard drive still does not show in Testdrive ://// it's an over decade old IDE drive which I'm using a converter for. The Ugreen converter does show up as USB but no the drive. It keeps making clock like noise too. Is there hope?

One of my external drives after the newest Windows 10 Update (go figure as usual), all of a sudden did a %100 disk usage, and wouldn't stop. I had to reboot my PC because i couldn't do anything, but when i rebooted and checked the external, it was then in RAW format! not NTSF. Is there anyway to fix that using this program?

physical drive doesn't appear in my laptop how to fix it with this issue? :(

Is there any chance this works on an internal hard drive?

My disk goes from like 01% and then jumps to 364801/364800: 99%... what do I do? I'm unable to proceed. It even disappears and I have to restart my computer if I X out of the program.

This is because you probably selected the auto-selected thing at 3:06. It auto-selected EFI for me, but when I closed it and selected Intel the next time I ran it, it worked.

What does "format" mean in this context?

@jiqoynicholas1280

2 жыл бұрын

Format means delete anything that's currently on the drive, and create a new file system on that drive. The reason you can't see files on a drive that has shown up as a RAW drive, is bc the file system has been deleted/ corrupted. This means the computer you're using doesn't know how to "see"the data

Two years later, I come across this video. There are a lot of viewers asking question and this gentleman did not answer any of them. He started his channel in 2017 and never posted anything after. I hope David understands that if you ignore people, you go nowhere on KZread.
