Partition Recovery

The training image has no partition table, but its FAT16 volume survives. The scanner finds that volume at byte offset 1048576. Selected files recovered from it match their reference hashes.

Constructed test example

Find a volume after its partition entry is lost

Example input

A constructed disk image containing a missing FAT16 partition and deleted files.

Result or controls shown

Located partition information and selected extracted files; the demonstrated selected files matched their reference hashes.

The native scanner locates a FAT16 volume at byte offset 1048576 despite the missing partition table. This is a constructed image, not an actual client disk.
