Next what was this partition used for - was it the partition that contains your windows OS or was it some data partition. 3. Is your wincedows (windows for some) Anti Virus updated and current or is your Wincedows vulnerable. ** You could use testdisk or photorec to try and recover your files - for this you will need a separate partition which has free space larger than what you are missing. Photorec is more directed towards missing files while testdisk does much more it can recover whole partitions. Do both on a trial basis - it runs of command line so can be stopped at anytime BUT PLEASE READ THE MAN PAGES AND ANY OTHER ONLINE DOCUMENTATION BEFORE USING. because while these are helpful the actual data recovery is in your hands and any mistake will be yours. ** Suggestion is to first use photorec (instead of testdisk) - Both can be installed via synaptic (System - Administration - Synaptic package manager) ** Don't format your hard disk just yet - Linux is if not anything else very very good at recovering data. ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
