Download TestDisk 6.11.3

TestDisk allows you to restore hard drive partitions when they are lost due to a virus, software bug, or failed tweak. For example, the program can rebuild fat12, fat16, fat32 and ntfs boot sectors, repair mft files and find the ‘backup superblocks’ of ext2 and ext3 file systems. For more information, we refer you to this page† The developers have released version 6.11.3 with the following list of changes since the previous entry in the Meuktracker:
