Getdataback *will/should* get the file back plus some info on previous partition wipes so look carefully. undelete or uneraser are similar tools to the M$DOS toolset they will find deleted files as long as you haven't written anything to the partition as the 1st character of the filename is changed to a $ (i think) eg filedele.dok -> $iledele.dok (meaning file deleted ok) use the unerase / undelete program and you select the file, program asks for the 1st char bingo (with luck) file *is* recovered. hope this helps. dave. <div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ---- From: Alexander Skwar <listen@alexander.skwar.name> To: ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Sent: Friday, 21 July, 2006 6:10:21 PM Subject: Re: [urgent] How to undelete a file <div>· Ouattara Oumar Aziz <wattazoum@gmail.com>: > hi, > > I have just delete a video I was reading with totem.

The kernel still knows which inodes are used, but as soon as Totem closes the file, this information is lost. > Do you know how? It's close to impossible.

With fat32, you actually might have good luck. But I don't know a tool.
