Yes, photorec is an completely different thing. It scans through |
| 14 |
all blocks on disk and tries to find out what kind of files they |
| 15 |
might belong to. |

This way you can reconstruct a lot of files if you lost the fs' |
| 18 |
metadata (which can happen easily on FAT :(). But this is an |
| 19 |
heuristic, not an stable approach. So you have to look through |
| 20 |
all reconstructed files if they're really okay. |

If just the partition table is broken, you shouldn't play with |
| 23 |
this - use testdisk instead. |
