hi, in photorec when choosing a disk and afterwards choosing intel I can choose to recover free space (unallocated) or whole disk.
On the other hand if I choose none (non partitioned media) it doesn't have that optin and I get a lot of files that are not deleted at all. Is there any way to recover only deleted files in non partitioned media?
thanks in advance.

Re: Photorec
If you incorrectly have Photorec treat your partitioned disk as non partitioned media it is pretty natural that Photorec will pull information from existing partitions.john2020 wrote: 17 Jun 2020, 06:48 On the other hand if I choose none (non partitioned media) it doesn't have that optin and I get a lot of files that are not deleted at all.

Naturally, if there is nothing partitioned on a drive, there is no basis for any kind of different treatment.
"Free space" is what you are probably looking for because this is what is not reserved by existing partitions.
