    There is R-Studio as well. Were you not able to recover the partition(s) using testdisk?

    I.ll use easus and recuva to get the last of the files back easus is very useful it shows a list of all the files so I'll can just ignore the files I don't need .

    I m using photorec windows to recover the rest of the files. It can scan the drive in 2o minutes as I set it to look for only mp3 or pdf files. I tried other programs but they take an hour to scan the drive I also had to copy old mp3s to USB to make room for recovered files on the PC
