First,
GOOD LUCK.
Second,
YOu can search through the raw filesystem by accessing the
/dev/hda... device. You can write a quick & dirty perl script to
search for a specific pattern and try to copy some of the data back
off the drive onto another drive. You can also try using the ext2 fs
editor which is VERY DANGEROUS and SHOULD BE USED WITH EXTREME
CAUTION. You could lose the whole filesystem if you screw up with
the editor. I have never used it so I can't there. You should be
able to find a binary form of the editor at your local Linux FTP
archive.

: Hello,
:
: Does anyone know how I would go about recovering some deleted files??
: Everything I have been told seems to indicate that it _should_ be
: possible (with lots of work) but nothing says how exactly to go about
: doing this. I have left the partition mounted read only since soon after
: having screwed up. (a MB or two did get copied to the partition before I
: realized what had happened). Partial recovery is much better then
: nothing at all.
:
: I do realize that if this is possible that it isnt going to be easy but I
: really need those files.
:
: Any and or all suggestions/comments would be appreciated.
: Please send the replies directly to me as I am not on this mailing list.

: Thanks,
