What is PhotoRec?

PhotoRec is an open-source data recovery software designed to recover lost files, including photos, documents, and videos from hard drives, memory cards, USB drives, and other storage devices. Unlike traditional recovery software, PhotoRec works at a deeper level by scanning the raw data sectors of a storage device, ignoring the file system structure.

Features of PhotoRec

  • Supports Multiple File Types – Recovers images, documents, videos, archives, and more.

  • Works on Various File Systems – Supports FAT, NTFS, ext2/ext3/ext4, and HFS+.

  • Bypasses File System Structure – Recovers data even if the file system is damaged.

  • Cross-Platform Compatibility – Runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

  • Non-Destructive Recovery – Does not overwrite existing data on the disk.

  • Command-Line Interface – Lightweight and efficient for advanced users.

How to Use PhotoRec on CAINE OS

  1. Boot into CAINE – Use a live USB or DVD.

  2. Launch PhotoRec – Open a terminal and type:

    sudo photorec

  3. Select the Disk & Partition – Use arrow keys to choose where to recover files from.

  4. Choose Filesystem & Scan Method – Select the correct file system or opt for a full scan.

  5. Start Recovery – Pick a save location and press C to begin.

  6. Review Files – Check the recovered files in the chosen directory.

Conclusion
