Actually, it depends on which file system you're running. First, stop anything that is writing to the file system and remount it read-only. Second, copy everything that's important off. Third, google on the name of the file system and "undelete" for instructions on how to achieve what you want. I know it can be done with Rieser--fortunately, I had a convenient listing of the files with their lengths from before the disaster, as the undelete didn't preserve the file names, so I was able to put them back. Also, in my case they weren't deleted from the mysql database, so I didn't have to play any tricks with Myth to get it to recognize the files. It is possible--it's just likely a lot of work. I would recommend renting the shows on DVD or waiting for reruns. --PC
