Hello
I'm trying to use photorec to try to recover some .lzh files that I deleted about over a year ago. I followed the guide: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Develope ... o_PhotoRec I'm not too sure about if I follow the guide completely; In what part do I add the signature at? The .lzh files I want to recover contain .psd files, so I made a few test to see if there's any matching strings - this is what I see: 2e 70 73 64.

Re: Trying to add new file type (*.lzh)
You have posted a zip archive with 3 RAR files with a .lzh extension. There are not lzh archives.
BTW PhotoRec already recovers rar archives.

Re: Trying to add new file type (*.lzh)
The .lzh archive in general don't have a constant specific. However, I do remember seeing the names of the files inside .lzh when checked thru hex editor - it doesn't encrypt the file names. In this certain situation, the .lzh files I'm looking to recover contains "*.psd" files, so .psd reads 2e 70 73 64 when I it thru check hex editor. That's the only way I can think of recovering my specific .lzh file. I provided new samples; this time it's not archived as .rar, but you can see it doesn't encrypt the file names inside .lzh.

Re: Trying to add new file type (*.lzh)
Well, I only managed to recover recent .lzh archive files, but not older files. I still can't manage to recover anything that contains .psd files.
