Not all is lost though. I grepped through the strings output of the device file, and found some names that I'm certain, I haven't saved anywhere else. So I made an image of the harddrive and am now digging through it with a hexeditor. I'm quite confident, that I can save most of the data and with a little luck, I can rebuild the address file automatically. > The summer weather is splendid now where I live though. ???
