a friend of mine transfered file from laptop to external drive. Used cut and paste.
Unluckly three days later, his drive was broken. I did forensic copy, but I can't find all of photos he needs. I am studying the situation. Hints thanks?

You will need to provide far more details if you want assistance.
Os, filesystem, disks involved, types of images, etc., etc., etc.

You are roughly in the "I'm ill, doctor. Help!" situation

OK! I was not clear. Sorry. Laptop has a Western digital 500 gigabyte hard disk. I did the forensic copy usinf FTK. I exported files by autopsy. I found lot of raw NEF but unluckly not those interesting for my firend. We can send external drive to specialized center. But it's not what we want

NEF is the RAW image format supported by Nikon cameras.

Hints thanks?

PhotoRec is generally pretty good for recovering photos and the 'tif' option supposedly includes support for NEF. However, I've no experience of using it for that purpose so 'caveat emptor'! Obviously, apply it to a read-only version of your forensic copy rather than to the original problematic disk.

There's a 'How To' guide here, which applies to situations where the partition has been reformatted or corrupted http//www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step.
