Dunno how to load a raw disk image with this

Post by Joep »

Tried with both their photo recovery as well as Windows data recovery. I add .img file and then nothing happens. No file added.

lol, yes.

I asked their support why I can not load a raw, dd, sector by sector, bitstream image file. I think they do not even know what it is.

Support: Kindly answer which software you use

Me: dd

Support: Kindly answer which software you use

Me: dd, but that does not matter one bit. It's a uncompressed sector by sector copy, doesn't matter which tool i use to create that image file.

So, turns out you can only load an image that was created with their software.

"We request you to confirm the version and software name in which the image is created. We would like to inform you that if the image is created with the same version and same software name then only you will be able to scan that image file."

I was just running several recovery tools for photo recovery against a memory card image.
