Reflota - Open-source data recovery for NTFS/FAT disks
Show HN: Reflota – Open-source data recovery for NTFS/FAT disks with phased copy
Reflota is a free, open-source, read-only recovery tool for NTFS, FAT32, FAT16/FAT12, and exFAT drives. It rebuilds folder trees from the NTFS MFT, lists deleted files with recoverability status, and lets you tick exactly what to restore. Advanced tools include content-based carving for 30+ formats (even camera RAW and PSD), lost partition discovery, and a phased, resumable disk imaging system for failing drives. It never writes to the source disk, runs without installation, and is MIT licensed.
When Windows says 'the disk is not formatted', your files are often still there. Reflota rebuilds them by reading the disk directly.
