TestDisk saved my day

Today I discovered a little gem: TestDisk. My USB pendrive had lost the partition table with some important documents that my guitar teacher gave me yesterday (perhaps because he removed the drive without safely unmounting it first), and this program recovered the partition in a matter of minutes (before I even had the time to read its documentation).

Certainly a tool to have handy...

Partition recovery is not only feature of TestDisc...

If your media drive (or FS) damaged TestDisc allow recover some files from it.

I recover most of photo after suddenly SD-card formatting...

By switching card in RO mode, making partition image and analysing this file with testdick.
