After analyzing your drive and doing its best to resurrect missing information from the partition table, GParted will now let you mount partitions it finds in read-only mode so you can copy your data to another drive.
Whether you’re trying to recover a partition from your Windows, Mac, or Linux system’s hard drive, GParted is up to the task. It supports 17 common filesystems, RAID arrays, and even flash drives.
