Performing digital forensics or data recovery can sometimes be problematic, and you will eventually need to resort to file carvers.
Revit (Revive IT) is an advanced file carver thta uses file structure based carving, originally developed for DFRWS 2006. This means you can carve files right out of raw disk data, even in the lack of a filesystem or partition table.
It is a noteworthy tool alongside Foremost and Scalpel.

can i download this tool from anywhere?
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Recovery/ReviveIt-59129.shtml seems to have a copy. Though there's other options like Scalpel, Foremost or Photorec that do the same thing:

- http://forensicswiki.org/wiki/File_Carving
Cheers!
