Thanks! :-) at least I knew something about recovery tool but I couldn't use that. The recovery tools that comes with are commercial and only contained demo version which can only show that which files can be recoverd. Anyway I got my files recovered in my friends windows xp machine. By the way I am wondering why there is no file recovery tools in linux while there are plenty of recovery tools available for linux file systems (e2fs, e3fs) in windows platform. Linux users don't do any mistakes like what I have done? --- micheal <sundance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The best suggestion I can think of, since the > filesystem is vfat, would > be to download and burn a copy of bartPE, which is a > windows based > LiveCD.
