 |just curious,how does one undelete a file this way?

As long as you know what you are looking for ... you can find all the data 
on the partition.. I once deleted my inbox on a reiserfs partition.. and 
since there are no undelete utilities for reiserfs I had to recover the 
stuff this way.. with some help from dd and grep I managed to get almost 
all my deleted mail back.

It's easier to retrieve text files than binary ones.
