TRK Linux boot disk


Get a program called Yumi
it creates usb boot distros there are a ton of distros that can be used to recover a disk

I have used r-studio with some success, it can recover files from damaged or corrupt partitions, deleted partitions, etc.

i got it out and had no luck. when pc reads drive it shows it to br in raw format instead of NTFS? how would you revover your info stored on drive?
