You could try the recovery software written by Ilfak (of IDA fame). It works excellently for recovery of media files if the file system is not fragmented (It does cost money however). Once you have overwritten the data portion of the ext3 filesystem, you are SOL with regards to actually doing guided recovery. You blew all the metadata away. I can personally vouch for this one.. I bought a copy for my brother when he inadvertently formatted his mates *full* 1GB flash card in his camera, rather than copying the data to a DVD (which he was trying to do). Got about 90% of the images back.. lost most of the movies though (the card was badly fragmented) http://www.datarescue.com/photorescue/ Brad -- "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so." -- Douglas Adams
