Although I have never used (or needed) it before, I am aware that there is recovery software out there. Can anyone here suggest or recommend a package (open source or commercial, I don't care) that might help get me out of this predicament.
Hi Dave,
One possibility: I think 'mc' can recover 'deleted' files in certain situations. Open a shell, type 'mc' and navigate to the partition containing the data. Just take care not to write anything to that partition until you've got what you want off of it.

Thanks Carl, but it appears that 'mc' can only do this with ext2fs and I need to recover from fat32 & reiser. No I am not going write to either of those 2 partitions. In fact I am not going to touch that box until I am ready to attempt some kind of recovery, or reformat :_( the whole flaming thing. Regards Dave
