This program recovers files from the FAT filesystem. Made for the class CIS 3605.

This utility was created in four days, and it shows.

1. The program will not recover files from a fragmented disk.
2. The program has not been tested on FAT12 and FAT32 disk images.
3. You can not load mounted disk images.
4. Only the data on the DIMG file is changed. In order to get the recovered files, extract files with 7zip.
5. Hardly any bug testing has been done. The program may corrupt your image.
6. Data carving is done hackingly and checks data by sector instead of cluster. Files that start and end in a sector will crash the utility.
7. File signatures and footers are embedded into the program.

Do not use this utlity for serious file recovering. Backup your files.

2. Click the "Recover" or "Carve" button. "Recover" uses the root directory to restore image. The "Carve" button restores images from the Data Region.
