Nice one, I'm glad to hear you got everything back okay.
I then returned to the directory a couple of hours later and discovered, to
my complete and utter surprise, that /everything/ had reappeared on the
drive, within the filesystem and fully accessible.
I cant imagine you having that kind of luck on one of Mr Gate's machines
! : )
(Sorry, couldn't resist)
How did you find Sleuthkit ?

Slightly more refined are sleuthkit (a set of commandline tools) and
autopsy ( a browser based gui for sleuthkit). These can be a bit tricky to
operate but there are plenty of docs on the web site. Ther is also a
commercial program called SMART which is very good at data extraction. It
costs, hoever a free version is available in the form of a bootable CD.
SMART can also do the imaging for you as well if you do fancy using dd. I
think there may be a file limit on the free version though, not too sure
now.
Hi Stu,
I ran sleuthkit directly on the hard drive (as there wasn't anywhere at all
I could put a 100GB+ image, and the data wasn't critical). I was able to
recover the few files I was particularly concerned about but, as there
wasn't any convenient way of recovering everything there (as it all seemed
to be intact), I left it there.
I then returned to the directory a couple of hours later and discovered, to
my complete and utter surprise, that /everything/ had reappeared on the
drive, within the filesystem and fully accessible. I promptly moved the
data (of which there was only 4.4GB) to somewhere safe and now have the
full drive working.
Thanks for the help,
Dan
