Get-ForensicUnallocatedSpace

SYNOPSIS

Gets the unallocated space on the specified partition/volume.

SYNTAX

Get-ForensicUnallocatedSpace [[-VolumeName] <String>] [-Path <UInt64>]

DESCRIPTION

The Get-ForensicUnallocatedSpace cmdlet parses the $Bitmap file to find clusters that are marked as unallocated (not in use by the file system). Then, the cmdlet returns the unallocated clusters as a byte array.

Except as noted, the cmdlets in the PowerForensics module require the permissions of a member of the Administrators group on the computer. To run them, start Windows PowerShell with the 'Run as administrator' option.

EXAMPLES

Example 1
