The destination should be of equal size or bigger than the image file.The format recovery software will take for a while to deep scan the formatted device and restore your formatted files. Select the formatted disk-like computer hard disk drive or external device which detected on the computer, then click Start. In the following example, the content of partition /dev/hdb1 will be overwritten with the image using the dd tool (It's a standard Linux/Unix/Mac OS X command, dd for Windows also exists). Follow the next guide to perform formatted files recovery on Windows computer. It is possible to restore a partition using the file image, but it's a risky operation. TestDisk checks and recovers lost partitions It works with : - BeFS (BeOS) - BSD disklabel. rename image.dd to image.img or image.dmg and double-click on the file.

If the filesystem isn't damaged (or too damaged), it's also possible to access the content using native Linux or Mac OS X commands: In example, TestDisk Advanced menu can be used to list and copy the files from FAT, NTFS and ext2/ext3/ext4 partitions or PhotoRec to carve data from damaged filesystem. There is no difference in the functions offered by TestDisk and PhotoRec when working on a copy instead of the original media. TestDisk and PhotoRec can work on disk image and partition image, you only need to supply the filename in parameter, example under Windows: run cmd and at the command prompt, type

Destination filesystem must have enough space to store the file.In the Advanced menu, Image Creation lets you image a partition to a file named image.dd.
