Reconstructing files with Magic Rescue
|
Conclusion
With the help of the little Magic Rescue tool, you can reconstruct files even with a corrupted partition. The program is reliable in that it doesn't depend on mapping tables (that are often corrupted or damaged themselves); instead, it scans the disk by sector and looks for the magic numbers in the individual blocks. The software is useful for Flash media, such as USB sticks and SD cards, that can easily become corrupted from an unclean unmounting.
