If you do it manually, you will have to 1) have a copy of the FAT table in hand 2) manually find the first cluster/sector of the file in the FAT table. The FAT table entry for that cluster will have the next FAT cluster number of that file. continue until you get to the end. You will then add up/combine all of the clusters in the FAT chain you just followed into one file, hopefully, the original one. That's the boring way - worked for me, but it can take hours to follow all of the file chains. --- www.ontrack.com has another program that works pretty well. http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/amd/887/rescue/e_index.html is a free program that may help. if nothing else, ontrack.com can usually recover most files you've lost by accident as long as the sectors haven't been overwritten. A couple hundred dollars for their service, but they do do a good job. ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
