recover lost files under ext3
 

Hey wassup all,

Now am terribly frustrated because i reinstalled my linux installation(Ubuntu 8.04) after falling prey to an inode error. So i reinstalled stuff under my root partition under which i had some files which i obviously lost.

I have tried recovering the files (mostly mp3 files) using photorec and the max file size i managed to recover was 4.0MB. the rest fall in the tune of 300kb.

My question is, is there a way to make a full recovery of the above files seeing that they indeed can be recovered?

Any suggestions and ideas very welcome.

If the files were overwritten, then there is no way to recover them. But, you can also try foremost, it may do a better job.
