You can use debugfs to get the inode and blocks for ext2fs partitions. But as the file will not be continuos, tracking the blocks will be a pain in the ass. There is the undelete mini howto which describes the procedure. But then, dd can't seek, so you'd have to write a program to skip the amount of blocks until you reach the block you want (or you'll have to write a small program to seek to the position). Still, you could only get single blocks. How about splitting the file under windows ??? Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
