SectorSecurity 0 Posted January 6, 2012 Im going to assume by now that you have probably placed the drive back in the DVR and started to record to it again. However if this is not the case, the drive as you saw is formatted as a linux partition, you will need to look at some data recovery software which should be able to get the data back for you. You could try something like Helix, or Backtrack 5 or SANs forensic toolkit or do a google search for linux partition recovery software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SectorSecurity 0 Posted January 20, 2012 Let me know how it goes, I would say if it is really valuable data to send it off to a drive recovery outfit, I would offer to look at the drive for you in my systems, however I dont think we are overly close.
