  1. What’s the best way to recover files from hard drive that I can’t boot from anymore.


    So recently I’ve tried to boot Linux from a usb and worked fine, but then after I wanted to boot to Windows again, it was no longer an option from the boot sequence, only the Live USB , and a partition of the hard drive(not the primary partition).

    So my question is how can I recover the files from my hard drive. I know that they are still here because when I go to Image Restore option and hit Advanced to to install an image I can see that all my files are still there.

    I also remember that I might have create an image restore a while back, could I use that? If so where would the image be located?

    Thank you for the help!

  3. Recover files from Flash drive

    Does not work on a windows pc which is what the OP probably intended

    windows by default does not have HFS and HFS+ based hard drives.
    Able to perform retrieval on both HFS and HFS+ based hard drives. and so will not work with windows

    thanks for the effort

    What’s the best way to recover files from hard drive that I can’t boot from anymore.

    recovering data possible dead hard drive

    @SuperSoph_WD can help. Although I can suggest Recuva, or use a Live Boot CD (such as Parted Magic), which will feature a command line tool called PhotoRec. I've used both, and PhotoRec on a Live CD seems to work best and be able to recover more files than recuva, although it does not recover folder structures and some file names.
