Partition recovery - has anyone tried TestDisk?

Post by John Gray »

I don't expect it has happened often that anyone has 'accidentally' deleted a hard disk partition, so I'm not holding out much hope for asking whether anyone has had any experience of using TestDisk...

I must say it's the first time I've ever come across it.

Never had that happy occasion to use that particular function but partition recovery\restoration has been a part of utilities like Acronis Disk Director and also Easeus Partition Master for some time, so I imagine TestDisk is similar?
