But before that you just do a backup of that partition. Use dd if=/dev/<partition> of=/home/<user>/<backup_file_name> bs=<size_of_partition_in_bytes>. This will help you to recover files in future if you come to know about any service like that. There are excellent paid tools available for this work. I will try to get the name of the tool from my friends (windows only tools) so that you can recover them. Please wait for a day I will get back. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
