Success!!!
I thought everyone would be interested how I recovered original emails
from formatted space.
This is how I did it:
1) While doing a full install of SuSE 8.2 on a SuSE 8.1 system, I juggled
a few partitions and became intimately aware of where my old and new data
snipped a lot
Therefore when copying the 1 MB image of the 10% email, I change the
parameters and filename so it looks like this:
$ dd if/dev/hda3 ibs=1024 skip=520000 count=1k >> /windowsD/recover52000
Believe me, it's painstaking, but I don't mind. The emails are valuable.
Whew!!!!
Very happy indeed!
Peter :))))
Way to go, Peter. Impressed the hell outta me!
