TestDisk, Data Recovery(磁盘恢复工具TestDisk)

TestDisk is OpenSource software and is licensed under the terms of the GNU Public License (GPL).

TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or humn errora (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.

TestDisk 是一个遵循GPL许可证的开源软件，其主要目的是数据恢复，如分区恢复或者由软件故障、病毒、误删分区表等引起的系统无法启动问题，这些大多是由对分区表作了误操作以后引起的。

TestDisk can

• Fix partition table, recover deleted partition  修复分区表，恢复删除的分区
  
• Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup  从备份中恢复FAT32启动扇区（必须有备份文件）
  
• Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector  重建FAT12/FAT16/FAT32启动扇区
  
• Fix FAT tables  修复FAT表（这属于文件系统的修复）
  
• Rebuild NTFS boot sector 构建NTFS 启动扇区
  
• Recover NTFS boot sector from its backup 从备份文件恢复NTFS 启动扇区
  
• Fix MFT using MFT mirror 使用MFT镜像修复MFT(Master File Table)

TestDisk has features for both novices and experts. For those who know little or nothing about data recovery techniques, TestDisk can be used to collect detailed information about a non-booting drive which can then be sent to a tech for further analysis. Those more familiar with such procedures should find TestDisk a handy tool in performing onsite recovery.（使用于新手和专家，针对新手，TestDisk可以用来收集问题磁盘的详细信息，然后由专家根据这些信息实施恢复）
