Yes, photorec is an completely different thing. It scans through all blocks on disk and tries to find out what kind of files they might belong to. This way you can reconstruct a lot of files if you lost the fs' metadata (which can happen easily on FAT :(). But this is an heuristic, not an stable approach. So you have to look through all reconstructed files if they're really okay. If just the partition table is broken, you shouldn't play with this - use testdisk instead. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
