Do you think I should start writing to essay again - or would it be possible to convert the partition to ext2, and use recover? Or am I just being overly hopeful?
And yeah, point taken about backing up.

Whilst in my /home directory - I thought I was in /floppy.
I've been digging around and stumbled across recover, but seem unable (?) to get it to work, though I have ext3, not ext2 on the drive.
year, ext3 behaves a bit differently from ext2 in regard to deleted files,
and the usual ext2 file undeletion methods don't work.
In addition to losing everything (no back-ups, I know, I know), a 3,000 word essay due in Monday has been lost.You know, you know, but if you know, do something about it for the future.
Daily incremental backups don't take much time or space if you only back up
the parts of the system that you can't simply reinstall from packages or
rebuild from source.
