how to open a bin file ?????

[craig6928]

can someone help us out with some advice
we are using data extractor and it recovered the files we needed on the drive

but for some unknown reason these are bins file only

i thought data extractor would recovery the files as a image file
and not a bin file.
so im stuck what to do next with the bin files as i tried to open them up in iso bust

can anyone tell me what to do next to recovery these files

thanks

Does each bin file represent one file?

[craig6928]

no i got around 40 bin files which where copied as a image file.

you need to load these files within DE

[cryoborgofthevenus]

Write those bin files to another new drive with same or larger capacity

These are (if are understood well) files that have to be added to make a complete image. For some reason DE is not making one image file but is splitting it up in smaller files.
You can use RStudio for this (create a virtual volume consisting of these files).

Best regards,

hi guys thank you for your help i will give this a try.



the main reason for the split image is the drive has gone bad
with errors.
this is a toshiba laptop we been working on now for 5 months

i will post the outcome

Create a new talk in DE, and select FILE/IMAGE as your source, when prompted point to your folder containing these BIN files. DE will then open these image files as a complete image. From here you can choose to recover, restore to new drive, mount as disk etc.
