Long story, but I have a photo that has been removed (rm file.jpg) on an ext3 filesystem, Ubuntu 8.10

The hard drive is NOT the root drive and it has been unmounted and remounted read only - <# mount -t ext3 -o ro /dev/sdb1 /mountpoint>. Nothing was written on the drive as far as I know before unmounting.

The obvious question: how to attempt recovery? I've stumbled on a thing called ext3undel but it's not in the Ubuntu repositories, which made me suspicious.

There are lots of google comments saying "can't be done".

What are my chances? any suggestions? Would be nice to have some success stories before I try the wrong thing and mess things up.

thanks

David.
