Re: Favorite File Recovery Tool?

[Samuel <gibsons () my uwstout edu>]

I have had better results with photorec (which is part of the testdisk
package in ubuntu) than scalpel personally.  It also has more built in
file types.  If you only need to recover the partition table then
testdisk usually works well.  If that doesn't work, photorec can search
for specific file types independent of the partition table.
