Headers or signature are nothing but some codes in Hex form which identifes the type of file.Like pdf files has got their headers ,if you put the header .pdf ,you can recover the files with that header. If you just want to see the functionality of Stellar Phoneix Raw only ,go to this site. www.stellarinfo.com/RAW.exe ,please note that RAW is in capital letters not in small letters. Regards Ankush
