What is Testdisk?

Testdisk, created by Christophe Grenier is a extremely powerful free data recovery software!

Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy. You can even recover your compact flash and other memory sticks.

Testdisk is available for DOS/Windows 9X, Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista, Linux, and Mac OS X

If you have installed Operating System on a single drive and you don’t have access to other computer to mount your damaged hard drive, you can download Ultimate Boot CD that contains Testdisk software. Visit Ultimateboocd.com

After you finish, you must restart your computer twice to see the results. At first restart, your computer will try to install your new (your recovered hard disk). On second restart, your computer will check your hard disk for any errors and try to fix everything before it loads operating system and hard disk data. If you have more than 2 hard disk drive, your partition disk letter can be changed.
