I had a data catastrophy a while back and bookmarked this on Delicious: <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5237503/five-best-free-data-recovery-tools">http://lifehacker.com/5237503/five-best-free-data-recovery-tools</a> Recuva worked for me. It's hit or miss, whatever you do, pull the drive, make an image, and do your recovery on the image. <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 9:18 PM, <<a href="mailto:trev.saunders@gmail.com">trev.saunders@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi, well, you have a couple options, the two I am aware of are testdisk which is designed for this purpose, and parted the partiitioning tool has a command to recreate a partition if you know roughly were it is. Fortunitely I've never needed to use either and don't know how well they actually work. I would suggest that you first make a copy of the disk with dd before making attempts to recover data that would involve writting to the disk.
