You used to be able to undelete files using debugfs and midnight
commander. But un-deleting a extxfs file is much harder than normal
Windows file systems. Are there really Windows tools to recover files
from extxfs file systems? Out of ignorance I did not know you could
run Windows on an ext2fs or ext3fs file system. Can you?
