[Q] Data recovery for specific "filename extension"
Posted: 27 Mar 2014, 23:20
Hello!
I have destroyed the partition table of a disk running Windows XP by using "Computer-Management-Console -> Storage".
I don't know what actually happened, but I believe that manipulated/destroyed the partitional table for the 4 (primary) partitions.
As a result, I could start into first partition and boot Windows XP, but I couldn't access any other partition.
With help of Testdrive (running in GNU Debian 7) it is possible to repair the partition table.
However, I cannot mount one out of the four partitions.
With help of PhotoRec I can recover many files from exactly this partition.
However, there are some specific files created by a tax software that are potentially not recovered.
These specific files have the filename extension s13, s12 and s11 (depending of the release of the tax software).
Question:
Is there any option using PhotoRec to recover these specific files?
THX
