RECOVER

Recovers readable data from a damaged or defective disk.

Use

Type “RECOVER” followed by the path to the file you want to rescue. RECOVER requires that the disk not be in use, so it cannot be used on the Windows boot partition while the computer is booted to Windows.

Note

RECOVER reads a file sector by sector and recovers data from the good sectors. Data in bad sectors is lost. It is common practice to open the file after recovery and attempt to re-enter missing data manually.
