Can anyone help? Dunno if this works with ext3 but with ext2 (I keep my /tmp as ext2 for speed... it's small and doesn't really need to be ext3 IMO) you could run the mc command (midnight commander). it has undel features (man mc). also, you might wanna try some undel software on the vfat partition out of dos. All this depends on you not writing to the partition involved. -- CORUSCANT-Presiding over a memorial service commemorating the victims of the attack on the Death Star, the Emperor declared that while recent victories over the Rebel Alliance were "encouraging, the War on Terror is not over yet." - http://www.zip.com.au/~cat/misc/txt/waronterror.txt
