**TestDisk** checks the partition and boot sectors of your disks.
It is very useful in recovering lost partitions.

It works with:

- DOS/Windows FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32
- NTFS (Windows NT/2K/XP)
- Linux Ext2 and Ext3
- BeFS (BeOS)
- BSD disklabel (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD)
- CramFS (Compressed File System)
- HFS and HFS+, Hierarchical File System
- JFS, IBM's Journaled File System
- Linux Raid
- Linux Swap (versions 1 and 2)
- LVM and LVM2, Linux Logical Volume Manager
- Netware NSS
- ReiserFS 3.5, 3.6 and 4
- Sun Solaris i386 disklabel
- UFS and UFS2 (Sun/BSD/...)
- XFS, SGI's Journaled File System

**PhotoRec** is file data recovery software designed to recover
lost pictures from digital camera memory or even hard disks.
It has been extended to search also for non audio/video headers.

The whole list of file formats recovered by PhotoRec contains
[more than 480 file extensions](https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/File_Formats_Recovered_By_PhotoRec) (about 300 file families).

TestDisk and PhotoRec run on:

- DOS, Win 9x
- Windows
- Linux
- FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
- SunOS
