How to recover deleted files in Ubuntu #12

[taith2]

OK everything is great, but how do I recover files from 1TB HDD?

I only deleted one 600mb folder

and doesn't need rest of 400GB garbage

especially when my second disk is only 180GB and have 1GB space left

For some reason, Photorec seems to only recover 'jpg' but not 'JPG' (my sony camera generates the upper-case version). Any hints on working around that?

hello man , thanks of the video. i did something very stupid. i reinstalled ubuntu but i had forgotten to backup my bookmarks from firefox and chromium. is there a way to recover specific files. like for example, the bookmarks were stored as .json files in chromium. so is there a way to tell the program, recover only these types of files? please help me, i dont know what to do :-(

Is it possible to recover files deleted from a USB stick by replacing them with files of the same name?

[iinnddiikkaa]

Done this. But cant delete the recovered files folder.

Awesome video, i am testing right now..

The files names changed and not organized after the recovery :/ that's annoying.

Thanks,

I used this tool a few days ago to recover some files form a phone, it works great, the only issue I had is when saving the recovery files puts in the home folder with restrictions when trying to delete them from the pc, I had to login as root.

[amzertech]

I can't find "testdisk" on Synaptic Package Manager. What's the source (origin)?

[exploderish]

@Antarnusa Try sudo apt-get install testdisk

Hallo, first of all thanks for tutorial which i am trying out now. But still i have some questions. I deleted saved game file (GTA san andreas to be exact), so i know both format of file (which is .b) and directory where it was deleted from, knowing that can i shorten the recovery search somehow since it takes very long time while trying to recover files in whole partition.

How do I remove the data found with the photorec? I have now bunch of found files and I want to remove them but I can't.

[URYnGSL]

great vid, thnx.

[AMonteverdi]

really nice tutorial great music

[Fixxxer50]

does photorec only recover images, ie - jpeg, png etc or any kind of files like maybe a doc file. Thanks for sharing !

[amzertech]

It does recover all types of files not just images.

[falkyx]

thx

[ravejunkie]

would this work on a winblowz7 drive or xp bootable drive. that it is a full separate HDD ?

[amzertech]

Yes it should work. :)

[Linux1man]

Very nice tutorials!

2 Questions tho...

1. Whats that awesome icon theme?

2. Whats the wallpaper?

[uni4dfx]

It was only copying files at 3.3MB/s? Damn, that's slow.

[amzertech]

Well when you mess up and delete something important enough to try and recover it you shouldn't mind that ;)

[uni4dfx]

Sure, but it just makes me sad a little that usb transfer speeds in linux always seem to be very low.

[gotbletu]

dope stuff, if u try to recover files on ur current hd does it allow u to save it to the same drive?

[amzertech]

yes, you can save the recovered files to any location you like.

[virtualdefense]

I tried it yesterday after watching your Testdisk video .

[amzertech]

cool. I hope it's working good for you.
