My initial thought was to just mount it on an Windows 7 machine and grab what I can from the drive. No joy Windows insists that the partition is RAW and I need to format it. I can however mount it under FreeBSD without any problems, the directory structure appears to be intact but there are no files in the places I would expect to find them under the Users directory, I am guessing that these have somehow been deleted or perhaps the victim of a partial OEM recovery process. Is there a way to scan the drive for deleted files from the command line or something from the ports tree that anyone can recommend to fulfil this requirement. > > Regards > > Graeme > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > You can use testdisk (opensource) http://www.getbackdata.net/ntfs.html (commercial) or http://www.pcinspector.de/ (free) Other programms: http://www.sleuthkit.org/ (opensource i think) http://sfdumper.sourceforge.net/ (opensource i think) http://www.ufsexplorer.de/products.php (commercial) For ufs i found only sfdumper for free, others are commercial.
