Hi, I accidentally deleted a folder containing a lot of very important data (research, source code..) by accident. Does anybody know how to undelete files on an ext3 partition? I know about what time they were deleted, the path of the files, and the file extensions.
I really appreciate any help on this one, thanks!
By the way, as soon as I realized what I had done I turned off my computer and it hasn't been touched since.

Do a search for this software: Nucleus-Kernel-Linux.exe
It will do what you want from Windows with your ext3 drive as slave.

Should be in the recycle bin. No modern operating system lets you permanently delete files "accidently" these days, not since what - the early 1990's?
Should be down the bottom right of the screen somewhere.
Unix systems are as susceptible to hostile software attacks as any other system, however, the Unix community is zealous in their believe that they are immune. This belief is in the face of reality!
