So, i will be doing this under linux for a good reason<\/p>\n
My friend gave me his computer so that i can recover everything for him, he deleted all the photos and so many other things, photos of his family are most important to him.<\/p>\n
So, becuase i have been holding his computer hostage for a week now, i decided to copy the entier hard drive so i can give him his computer back, and extract everything at my convinience, so after mountingf the disk i want to undelete from… i executed the command.<\/p>\n
ddrescue \/dev\/sdb \/hds\/3tb\/200gb.img \/root\/resumelog.log<\/p>\n
So i had the image file that i can use for recovery after mounting<\/p>\n
Now if as in the article here http:\/\/www.buildingcubes.com\/2012\/07\/27\/rescuing-a-failed-hard-drive\/ i mounted the drive, i can use a nice linux command (ntfsundelete) to undelete the files from the mounted partition.<\/p>\n
1- create a list of files to take a look at, put all deleted JPGs in a text file
\nntfsundelete \/hds\/img -m ‘*.jpg’ -p 80 -t 8m > deletedmp3.txt
\nntfsundelete \/dev\/loop0 -m ‘*.zip’ -p 50 -t 8m > deletedjpg.txt<\/p>\n
2- change to the directory where you want to recover files to
\ncd \/hds\/wd1tb\/newdir<\/p>\n
3- recover all PNG files then all jpg files
\nntfsundelete \/dev\/sda1 \u2013u \u2013m *.png
\nntfsundelete \/dev\/sda1 \u2013u \u2013m *.jpg<\/p>\n
or if i want to move them to a directory other than the active directory
\nntfsundelete \/dev\/sda1 -u -m ‘*.jpg’ -p 90 -t 8m -d \/hds\/wd1tb\/newdir<\/p>\n
-p 90 means only recover files with at least 90% recoverable content
\n-t 5m means only files deleted in the past 8 months<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
