Multi OS Filesystem Tool
GNU Partition/MBR/FAT/Files Recovery

Remember that thumb drive that went south on you?
But, you always stopped just short of hitting the "format" button?
There may be hope, even if you did reformat the drive.

While trying to find a way to stop XP from remembering drive letters for removable media, I got little flippant about popping the three thumb drives I was using in and out of the machine.
Later, on a 2nd machine, one of the drives couldn't be recognized.
Turns out the data on the drive couldn't be seen on ANY machine.

OnTrack and the other partition managers/FAT fixers were of no more use than Windows Disk Manager in trying to fix this problem.

But TestDisk was.

A little slow due to the particular issue with the drive. But I got ALL the data back. Very Happy

Highly recommended. Rock On

It's also OpenSource

ETA: Got a PM advising me the above sounded a little like a paid ad for the product.
It was accompanied by a "wink", but they had a valid point.

I'm not associated with the developers in any way.

It was one of those, "You had to be there." moments.
I was just so jazzed that I hadn't lost a little chunk of my life and all the mainstream tools had failed, miserably, to be of any help, at all.

It may not seem like an ARG tool, but if it helps manage your tools, I think it kinda qualifies.

Hell, I even left out a bunch of other cool stuff it purports to do.
