OT-File recovery

[Bruce McDonald]

Hello Everyone,

Do any of you know of a good file recovery utility that works on FAT32
filesystems?

<sighs>  Yes, I _know_ I should have had a more recent backup of the
system....

Backstory:  My wife uses Netscape 7.1 for her email and newsgroups.  The
first time she would run it after a fresh bootup it would ask which profile
to use.  There was only one profile, default.  This has been vexing her for
some time.  Wednesday she was sick with a cold and suffering from a fever
and when it asked for the profile.... in a fit of pique, she deleted the
profile.  To make matters worse, she had been planning on moving up to 7.2,
which she did right after deleting the profile.
So now there is a new "salt" file where the old one was and she has none of
her email addresses or important email messages from the past year.

I have looked at the drive with PC File Recovery and it did find a couple of
emails, but I know it can't track the file past the first cluster it is on.
 I despair of recovering the information since the settings area has been
written to after the file was deleted.

Is there a program out there that can try and piece together the clusters?
Or at least let me see the data on each cluster so I can recreate as much of
the email file as possible?

I could boot a linux cd on the computer and mount the drive under linux if
there is a linux utility to fit the bill.



Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Bruce McDonald
