I know i can mount fat32 partition using mount_msdos command. But my
msdos fat32 partition is a bad disk with corrupted fat table.

Question is can i use freebsd to recover data from this msdos fAT32 disk????

Oh yes, you can! As a side product of my attempt to restore data
from an UFS partition with orphaned inodes, I found some good
utilities that might be helpful fo you.



What tools do you suggest to use?

Check 'em out!

System:
dd
fsck_ffs
clri
fsdb
fetch -rR <device>
recoverdisk

Ports:
ddrescue
dd_rescue
ffs2recov
magicrescue
testdisk
The Sleuth Kit:
fls
dls
ils
autopsy
scan_ffs
recoverjpeg
fatback

Especially magicrescue can do wonders. If everything fails,
The Sleuth Kit is a good tool.

Don't forget to try mtools.
