Even DOS or widows cannot always recover deleted files, one has to do quite complicated things, your approach saying in "General" there is no way is simply NOT true period. I still dont quite understand your origanal statement, i quote; " If you are lucky, you can dump using dd your partition's data in a file and then search in the file for the missing data, but again this is not trivial and doesn't work 100%. " Just what do you mean dump with dd, i am not saying it is not a possability, but there are far more reliable ways of retriving deleted files out there you know and No i am not saying other ways are 100% but the chances are files "are" recoverable. One point, the longer one waits before trying to recover deleted files the less chance there is of retriving them. > Elias -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
