I would be very incredulous about using this utility. It is only for win32 platforms. Can it be used on Linux? Well, yes, all you need to have is a machine that runs windows, in addition to the box running linux. You then pull you linux drive out, and place it in the windows machine. I reiterate, you can only load this program on a windows box. I guess if you are dual booting both windows and linux that would make life much easier for the recovery process. In looking at the documentation for RLinux (why they call a binary *.exe file a linux program is beyond me), it does not say much about recovering files from a re-format. They do talk a lot about recovering deleted files though. I guess the bottom line is never say never about anything that can or can not be done with a computer. Hell, if you really need those files that got re-formatted, just yank your harddrive, carry it down to your local FBI, and tell them you received this drive from some unknown source originating from somewhere in the middle east. I am sure they will have a way to recover all data on that disk.... Dr John, the night tripper
