  • A simple free recovery application

    From Archer@3:633/10 to All on Sunday, April 19, 2026 11:47:08
    Hi Friends

    Some time back I tried a File recovery aoolication which more or less
    worked like Testdisk but very simple.

    It checked the hard disk for erased files - here is the differenve -
    it offered to mount the files so you can copy the files to a chosen
    location. It was really good and simple. All free and no limitations.

    Somehow I lost that file. Now I need that application but I do not
    remember the name of the application. (I am dodderingly old with some
    lapses of memory!)

    If any of you know of such an application please help with the name of
    such an application
