About

Carve Data Recovery is a Windows utility for recovering files from deleted, formatted, lost, or damaged volumes. It scans FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS, and can reconstruct partitions and directory structures when partition records or boot sectors are missing or damaged. When directory entries are unavailable, content-based carving identifies supported formats and determines file boundaries. The software previews files, creates byte-for-byte disk images, and reads SMART drive-health attributes. It supports 512-byte and native 4Kn sectors, USB drives, memory cards, and disk images. Users can recover documents, photos, media, archives, and supported CAD and 3D files, saving recovered data to a separate destination. Scanning and previewing are free; the free edition limits recovered files to 1 MB each, with paid perpetual licenses for individual computers, small teams, and sites.

About

PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from hard disks, CD-ROMs, and lost pictures (thus the Photo Recovery name) from digital camera memory. PhotoRec ignores the file system and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your media's file system has been severely damaged or reformatted. For more safety, PhotoRec uses read-only access to handle the drive or memory card you are about to recover lost data from. Important, as soon as a picture or file is accidentally deleted, or you discover any missing, do not save any more pictures or files to that memory device or hard disk drive; otherwise you may overwrite your lost data. This means that while using PhotoRec, you must not choose to write the recovered files to the same partition they were stored on. PhotoRec ignores the file system; this way it works even if the file system is severely damaged.
