i mistakenly deleted some files of my windows drive i.e. fat32.
can anybody help in finding a way to recover the deleted files.

unrm is not working on my box and debugfs is giving following error while opening /dev/hdc1 (from where i deleted the file):

debugfs: open /dev/hdc1
/dev/hdc1: Bad magic number in super-block while opening filesystem

I typed a response to this yesterday and it did not get posted---sorry.

First--do not write to that drive. Deleting a file simply releases the pointers. The data is still there, but the system can write new data on top of it.

If the data is critical, then consider cloning the drive (or partition) before trying any recovery techniques.

The response from debugfs indicates that you have more issues than simply a few deleted files. Please give a description of your configuration (include the output of fdisk -l) and what recent changes have been made.

Search Google for "FAT32 file recovery". Read up on the different tools before trying anything.

i didnt get anything...

fdisk is not working....
my problem actually is that i have deleted some files of windows from linux and therefore cant boot up windows so i want to help me out in recovering the deleted files from linux only as i cant access windows.

hope u get it right this time.

In that case, you may be able to dd to another partition then reinstall windows. Optionally, you can create temporary windows install somewhere to attempt reading from this drive. However, as pixellany mentioned, Windows may start writing to this drive the moment it sees it, and this can lead to overwriting your deleted files. Linux is alot better about not writing to a FAT32 partition without asking.

There may be a Linux software solution, but I doubt it. Unfortunately, a quick Google search results in a bunch of ads.

i am looking for a linux solution like unrm but that is not working...

What do you mean--you hope I get it right?? Did I make a mistake?
What happens with fdisk -l? (be sure to run it as root)

I am sure there are lots of Linux-based utilities that will work on FAT-32. What did you find on Google?

When you say that something is "not working", you have to tell us what is happening--what are the error messages?
