Test Disk

Apr 15, 2007 08:14


Hey, Windows knowing where it's partitions are got fixed yesterday, due to me doing one little change to the registry (I figure after I did that and rebooted, Windows was forced to rescan the drive), but I also found a neat little free utility called TESTDISK. It can find lost partitions for (and run under)...
  • BeFS ( BeOS )
  • BSD disklabel ( FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD )
  • CramFS, Compressed File System
  • DOS/Windows FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32
  • HFS and HFS+, Hierarchical File System
  • JFS, IBM's Journaled File System
  • Linux Ext2 and Ext3
  • Linux Raid
    • RAID 1: mirroring
    • RAID 4: striped array with parity device
    • RAID 5: striped array with distributed parity information
    • RAID 6: striped array with distributed dual redundancy information
  • Linux Swap (versions 1 and 2)
  • LVM and LVM2, Linux Logical Volume Manager
  • Mac partition map
  • Novell Storage Services NSS
  • NTFS ( Windows NT/2K/XP/2003/Vista )
  • ReiserFS 3.5, 3.6 and 4
  • Sun Solaris i386 disklabel
  • Unix File System UFS and UFS2 (Sun/BSD/...)
  • XFS, SGI's Journaled File System

Cool!
