TestDisk, PhotoRec Fix Disks, Recover Files (Computerworld) March 21, 2011 at 1:00 AM
If you’re a fan of character-based interfaces–such as DOS–and free data
recovery, you’re going to love TestDisk and its companion utility, PhotoRec (a
brother program included in the TestDisk download). Both free programs run in
a DOS box or from a command line and test, report on, fix common disk boot
problems, and recover files from damaged hard drives. All this is done at low
level, below the operating system.
