Sure, the people who refuse to do backups will think I am an > ass. But the people whose data gets saved think I'm a god (and sometimes > even pay me). It's worth it. Well, people paid me for recovering their data after such accidents :) Finally I was able to recover with Stellar Phoenix, but these tools are altogether only available - for windows. That's beyond me. This encourages people to fire up an OS that can potentially overwrite the data thats meant to be recovered by simply adjusting swap size or sumsuch. I don't get why they don't provide a live system, maybe based on linux with their precious util on it. This way I'm either forced to ensure the partition isn't touched by the OS during start (not always possible and still risky) or get the disk over to a clean machine. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a- C+++(++++) UL+>++++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?
