And another one:
When files disappear, Magic Rescue saves the day
http://www.linux.com/feature/126525
http://jbj.rapanden.dk/magicrescue/
From the Linux.com article, it sounds like a more primitive version of
Foremost, but I haven't tried it.
I did try Foremost, just for fun. It recovered 47,148 files in the < 30
mins I let it run on an Ubuntu desktop, split up by type [1] and named
(I assume) by inode. What are exe & dll files doing on an Ubuntu
machine, especially exe's containing strings like "Windows 95 Font
Smoothing Installation"? Beats me! I saw a bunch of other stuff that I
have no idea about either. No, the machine isn't hacked; I must have
used it as temp space while copying or backing something up, but I don't
remember that. Hummm, that machine DOES have a W2KPro VMware VM on it,
but VMware is not using raw partitions. I wonder if it's somehow found
stuff from that? The machine and HD used to be W2KPro, but I
reformatted when I moved from NTFS to ext3 during the Ubuntu install...
Since all the file names are gone, it's hard to figure out what
everything it. Lots of the stuff like doc, xls, ppt seem to be stock
examples or templates; they aren't anything I wrote. OTOH, there are
HTML files that are probably out of a browser cache...
Oh well. Interesting exercise anyway.

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
