How to recover deleted Files

sundar_reddy · 10-25-2007, 05:38 PM

Hi,

I have FC4 system on p4. I accidentally deleted several voice files, can you please suggest me on how to recover those files. Any tool. I know that i am not going to recover all the files but want to recover as many as possible. The file system is et3. Total number of files delete is more than 10000. Each voice file is about 5MB in size..

Any help is appreciated..

Thanks,
Sundar.

What format are the voice files in? You can try using foremost or photorec, but I'm not sure whether your voice file format is supported. Both programs exist in most distro repositories, or you can use a live CD like Knoppix, or download the source and compile.

Here's an article about how to create your own header file for an unknown filetype and then use foremost to recover it.

If that doesn't work for you, things don't look good because....

If you want to do some reading:

look at section 4.10

Here is another shareware program making recovery claims on ext3 filesystems:

Don't mount your filesystem if you haven't already, and don't do read/write to the filesystem.
