I agree the comments tumbling forth weren't helpful.
I made a similar mistake on my linux system, on a

I tried using Linux Disk Editor (lde at sourceforge)
but it was very buggy. I've now downloaded a slew of
detailed info about FAT/vfat and I'm now undeleting by
hand.
Is there a binary editor I can use on the disk, coz at
present, I am using ...
'od' to examine the disk
'perl' or a calculator to do mathematics (hex to
decimal, etc)
'echo ...| tr 'asc' 'binary' | dd ... seek=target,
to write the disk.
Example, to write the character 'L' to byte number
0x45678 on the disk /dev/hda6, do this
# perl -e 'print 0x45678 . "\n"'
284280
# echo 'L' | dd of=/dev/hda6 bs=1 count=1 \
seek=284280
To write a binary 0x05 to the same spot ...
# echo 'a' | tr 'a' '\005' | \
dd of=/dev/hda6 bs=1 count=1 seek=284280
As you might see, a disk editor that actually works is
probably easier.
