Working with Hard Disk Image Files

TestDisk can also work with hard disk images. The disk image must be available under its image_filename in the working directory, or you can add its Path and filename to a TestDisk command line. For example:

testdisk_win.exe C:\BOCHS\DOS\c.img

will include the Path\image_file, c.img, in the list of drives on TestDisk's initial screen. Then open the image file just like any physical drive.

Image files are limited in size by the OS and filesystem:
2 GiB (FAT16), 4 GiB (FAT32), 16 GiB (ext2/3 with 1 kb block), 256 GiB (ext2/3 with 2 kb block), 2048 GiB (ext2/ext3 with 4 kb block)
