This scenario in particular is requiring me to recover a repartitioned hard disk, but I was wondering what tools people here use in general to recover lost data. I'm sure everyone h...
I accidentally hit 'format' in qtparted on my ext3 partition (for Ubuntu), which I was analyzing via another computer. The list of four messages it gives during the format process include "writing inode table" and "writing filesystem", or something similar. How can I view this data? The tools I've looked at appear to either require inta...

I managed to damage my NTFS partition pretty well (Details*; I don't think its extremely relevant but it might be.) and was wondering if there is any linux tool that can read an invalidly partitioned harddrive. In particular, Active@ NTFS Reader does exactly what I need; it seems to trust less of what the file system is telling it and fr...

So I just spent a week running a simulation, but the computer had to be turned off to move it (terrible, I know). The data that was being produced was being zipped due to it's size by piping it into gzip, but since the simulation wasn't finished, I can't unzip the .gz file. We have since started the simulation over, but I was wondering...

I found a nifty little program ...
