First setup checklist

Before installing
- Start from cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download; avoid recovery-tool bundles from file portals or ad-heavy mirror sites.
- Recovery tools can read deleted, confidential, or regulated data; obtain approval and document chain of custody before workplace use.
- Use write-protection or image-based workflows where appropriate so recovery attempts do not alter original media.
- Review the open-source license and current platform package route before deploying on company devices.
- Do not claim checksum/signature verification unless the exact CGSecurity archive and verification material are reviewed.
Practical tips
- Before clicking Download, confirm that the path starts from cgsecurity.org or another vendor/project-controlled destination linked from it.
