I used PhotoRec to recover it and got success but only with photos jpg, I see my solidworks file type (*.sldprt) in it link http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/File_For ... y_PhotoRec but can not understand how choose it in option of PhotoRec to recover it.

sldprt files are part of the doc file familly.
If you don't recover them with latest 7.1-WIP, please send me a file sample. Maybe Solidworks has changed its internal file format.

Thank you for your answer. but I still not understand how me start at first to try recover my solidworks files, because I not find it type in options to choose it.

I have testdisk-7.1-WIP with four *.exe files. when I run photorec_win.exe I have CMD window in which I choose disk and which I have [File Opt}. I can not find in {File Opt] *.sldprt type file, it`s not exist in it ( if you want I can make screenshot but it file type not present in [File Opt}. How use it CMD version of Photorec to recover Solidworks files I not understand. I think if I want recover Solidworks files I must choose disk fype of file (*.sldprt in my case) and run process. But it type not exist in {options].

In qphotorec_win.exe I have same problem in dialog window of choise type file I can`t find my *.sldprt .
Can you help me to understand how use it program to recover my solidworks files?
