Hello,
I did a bad thing and deleted the files on my 2Gig SD drive.
I have tried "foremost", midnight commander and even hexedit on a dd copy of the drive with no success.
Does anybody know of a Linux based tool that will undelete the files or a howto on how to go about it? Most are over 2Megs which seems to be the limit of "foremost".
I am going to talk to our IT guys but I don't want to admit that I need to use a Windows machine. :(

On 3rd May, there was a thread called "Undelete Compat Flash" that mentioned various forensic file recovery applications.

Thanks for the pointer.
I will have to give the links a try.
I wish the archives had a decent way of searching.

Well, after trying the different tools suggest by the above links, I went and downloaded "freeundelete" for Windows and it recovered all but three of the files off of the SD card. This is pretty good out of 300 plus images.
All of the techniques suggest in the links in the archive are forensic recovery tools of some sort. In the right case, these are the tools that would do the best job. But in my case, they didn't prove successful. I wanted a tool like the old dos undelete that would read the FAT table and use the file pointer to the beginning of the image file.
