Agreed. Anyway, as far as recovery is concerned, I read an article on Linux Journal or Linux.com, don't remember exactly where. They had described a way to recover a file by using dd upon the device file of your partition, eg. /dev/hdb3. I tried doing this, but it didn't work for me. You may give it a try. The article was titled something like Recovering files in Linux.
