6.11
|
|
TestDisk & PhotoRec 6.11 should use less CPU.
|
|
This new TestDisk version can undelete files for NTFS filesystem and recover deleted exFAT and ext4.
|
|
PhotoRec
|
|
- Performance improvement when scanning for numerous file type
|
|
- Fix several bugs including an endless loop, several memory leaks and several out-of-bound memory access
|
|
- 50 file formats have been added
|
|
|
|
6.10
|
|
TestDisk & PhotoRec 6.10 comes with severals improvements:
|
|
- Report disk manufacturer and model under Windows and Linux (Only Linux was
|
|
supported in 6.9)
|
|
- Under Linux, /dev/mapper/* and /dev/md? are now listed with the harddisks.
|
|
- Now both OS and compiler versions are recorded in the log file.
|
|
|
|
This new TestDisk version can
|
|
- undelete files and directories for FAT filesystem,
|
|
- undelete files for ext2 filesystem,
|
|
- copy files from ext2/ext3 partitions. These feature was already available
|
|
for FAT and NTFS.
|
|
|
|
PhotoRec
|
|
- Load and save FileOpts settings: remember which file types to recover
|
|
- For JPEG files, extract the time/date from Exif header and set the
|
|
file time. It's now easier to sort the recovered jpg.
|
|
- PhotoRec can now identify and recover 38 additional file formats.
|
|
|
|
6.9
|
|
TestDisk & PhotoRec 6.9 comes with numerous improvements:
|
|
- They are compatible with ntfsprogs 2.0, the latest library version for
|
|
accessing NTFS partitions, e2fsprogs 1.40.6, the latest library for accessing
|
|
ext2/ext3 partitions.
|
|
- EFI GUID Partition Table is now supported. EFI GPT is mainly used on Itanium,
|
|
MacBook and Mac Pro.
|
|
- Both utilities can use sudo if the user is not root, this functionnality will
|
|
be enabled for at least MacOSX, so users won't have to go into a command line.
|
|
- Improved Windows disk support, most internal USB card reader should now work.
|
|
- Disk model (ie. ATA ST3120026AS, _NEC DVD_RW ND-4550A...) are now reported
|
|
under Linux.
|
|
|
|
TestDisk
|
|
- New file system support has been added: encrypted LUKS, Mac HFSX, Linux Raid
|
|
md 1.0/1.1/1.2 (0.9 was already supported).
|
|
- It displays unicode filenames correctly, and can handle unicode filesnames
|
|
while copying files from an NTFS partition when supported by the underlying
|
|
libraries.
|
|
- It's now possible to copy files from a lost FAT partition found by TestDisk
|
|
(Already possible for NTFS).
|
|
- In the Advanced menu, TestDisk can create a raw/dd-like image of a partition.
|
|
|
|
PhotoRec
|
|
- For ext2/ext3 file systems, PhotoRec 6.9 can search in the whole space or in
|
|
unallocated space only. This feature was already available for FAT and NTFS
|
|
filesystem.
|
|
- It has better session support which allows a recovery to be stopped and
|
|
restarted later.
|
|
- New file formats are supported: Acronis True Image .TIB, AutoCAD's .DWG and
|
|
PowerTab .PTB, Cineon image file/SMTPE DPX .DPX, Comic Life .comicdoc, HP
|
|
Photosmart Photo Printing Album .albm, KeepAssX .KDB, Maya .MB and .MP,
|
|

|
|
Andreas Save File, Final Cut Pro .fcp and Digital Speech Standard .dss.
|
|
|
|
6.8
|
|
Version 6.8 is mainly a bugfix but some small improvements has been made to
|
|
both TestDisk and PhotoRec:
|
|
- Partition type is now autodetected.
|
|
- TestDisk and PhotoRec can now be used under screen, the screen manager with
|
|
VT100/ANSI terminal emulation.
|
|
|
|
TestDisk
|
|
HFS detection has been improved to avoid false positive.
|
|
TestDisk logs potential NTFS partition location from MFT & MFTMirr location
|
|
while rebuilding NTFS boot sector.
|
|
|
|
PhotoRec
|
|
Some important bugfixes (false positive problem, implementation bugs) have been
|
|
made in PhotoRec 6.8. JPG bruteforce recovery has been improved a little bit,
|
|
you can use it to recover more fragmented jpeg but it's very time consuming and
|
|
not 100% reliable, so it's still disabled by default.
|
|
.7z, .cab, .rar and .tar recovery have been improved, .dta and .spss file
|
|
formats have been added.
|
|
|
|
6.7
|
|
Both utilities are faster than previous versions: a better disk caching is
|
|
used in PhotoRec, a better way to handle the sector to scan is used in
|
|
TestDisk. Windows version of TestDisk and PhotoRec doesn't use
|
|
pread()/pwrite() cygwin implementation (A bug seems present).
|
|
|
|
TestDisk
|
|
TestDisk 6.7 handles partition created under Microsoft Vista.
|
|
Traditionally partitions were created on cylinder boundaries. Under Vista,
|
|
they are now independent of the disk geometry: partitions are aligned to 1
|
|
MB boundary, TestDisk now handles that. It also fixes how the advanced
|
|
menu works.
|
|
|
|
PhotoRec
|
|
PhotoRec 6.7 uses less CPU. It also adds support for 3ds max, Archive
|
|
.ace, CD Audio .cda, FastTrackerII Extended Module .xm, Linux archive .a,
|
|
Linux/Unix ELF binary, Mac OS .emlx mail format, Macomedia Compressed
|
|
Flash .swc, Macromedia .flv, Macromedia Freehand 5 (.fh5) & 10 (.fh10) and
|
|
InDesign .indd, Matroska .mkv, MP3 with ID3 header, MS cabinet archive
|
|
.cab, MSOffice "Open" XML .docx, .pptx, .xlsx, MS executable (PE), MS
|
|
Windows Metafile .wmf, NJStar .njx, Quickbooks .qbb and .qbw, Real Audio
|
|
.rm, registry config file .reg, RPM package .rpm, Windows registry header
|
|
detection and Event Log .evt
|
|
|
|
6.6
|
|
General Improvements
|
|
- Encase Expert Witness Compression Format is now supported, so Computer
|
|
Forensic Experts can use TestDisk and PhotoRec more easily.
|
|
- Under new Vista OS, harddisks are now being reported again.
|
|
TestDisk
|
|
- If LBA48 support seems missing (HD bigger than 130 GB not supported by
|
|
the OS), TestDisk will warn the user. This problem is common when a user
|
|
reinstalls his OS and forgets to install the latest service patches.
|
|
- NTFS: TestDisk should be able to list files from NTFS partitions even if
|
|
some filesystem corruption has occurred; more importantly, it will allow
|
|
the user to copy whatever file data it can as well.
|
|
- FAT: Improved heuristics to find the first FAT area during boot sector
|
|
rebuild.
|
|
PhotoRec
|
|
- A new method for handling fragmented data is now used, making recovery
|
|
more reliable and faster.
|
|
- PhotoRec can be set to search for files in FAT16/FAT32 unallocated space
|
|
only; which avoids wasting time recovering files that are still
|
|
accessible, making the recovery of 'lost files' much faster and more
|
|
efficient.
|
|
- New file formats have been added: .3g2 (Mov video family), .aif Apple
|
|
Audio, .all .cpr Cubase Song, .blend Blender, .cam Casio QV Digital Camera
|
|
Image, .flac Free Lossless Audio Codec, .mdf Microsoft SQL, .swf
|
|
Macromedia Flash and .vcf VCard (not confused with .txt anymore)

|
|
- File size detection for .bmp, .pdf, .gif, Office document has been improved.
|
|
- A endless loop bug and a memory leak have been fixed.
|
|
- The I/O cache engine now caches read failure, it will speedup some recovery.
