Hi,

From https://sourceforge.net/projects/testdisk/, we read :

Testdisk & Photorec work in a terminal :

testdisk

photorec

and let yourself be guided.

Below, you'll find the .pet in two zipfiles.

To merge them :
1°) download the files photorec_testdisk_7.0.3.zip + photorec_testdisk_7.0.3.z01.zip
2°) go to the directory where the files were saved
3°) remove .zip to the end of photorec_testdisk_7.0.3.z01.zip to obtain photorec_testdisk_7.0.3.z01
4°) in a terminal, type in :

zip -s 0 photorec_testdisk_7.0.3.zip --out photorec_testdisk_merged_7.0.3.zip

5°) the splited archive is now a one file that you can decompress anywhere : you get the .pet

Friendly

Thanks for that, looks very useful!
