It's also on the UltimateBoot CD as part of GParted which again is GUI based. It's on the Hiren's CD but is part of Lazecroft Windows Recovery which is GUI based. A live image of Fedora can be put on a bootable USB drive using Fedora Media Writer but how would this help me? Is TestDisk included with Fedora? If not how would I put it on the image?Īnother possible solution is that TestDisk is included with some of the free bootable CDs available. Unfortunately I didn't quite understand them. I read the instructions to create a bootable USB drive on page 11 of the TestDisk Documention pdf file.

I managed to do this with the DOS version but it didn't work because it's 32 bit. I think one possible solution would be to put the 64 bit Windows version of TestDisk on a bootable USB memory stick. One is for 'recovery' and seems to be okay and the other one contains my data which I want to recover. The computer's hard drive has two partitions (I think). While it was still somewhat workable I ran chkdsk and learned that a partition was labelled RAW. I have a computer that won't boot to Windows 10 or even to safe mode.

I would appreciate any advice and please excuse my ignorance. I hope someone can help me with the following problem.
