Do you need to recover some pics erroneously deleted from your digital camera flash memory? This tool is for you.
PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from Hard Disks and CDRom and lost pictures (Photo Recovery) from digital camera memory. PhotoRec ignores the filesystem and goes after the underlying data, so it'll work even if your media's filesystem is severely damaged or formatted. PhotoRec is safe to use, it will never attempt to write to the drive or memory support you are about to recover lost data from.
What makes this tool interesting is that it's able to retrieve data also from damaged CD/DVD discs. Obviously, not all damaged discs are recoverable, and also the drive used have its importance, because some drives have better error correction capabilities 😉
Another interesting feature is that this tool is portable, i.e. it doesn't need to be installed and can run from any folder and also from a USB memory stick.
