In the process of trying to set up an external hard drive, I

I've since reinstalled Linux and tried to set the partition sizes
to what they were before, in the hope that I could run some sort
of file restore utility on /dev/hda6, which was where my /home
drive was. (my hope was that that portion of the hard drive
wouldn't be overwritten by the install)
I've tried r-linux, recover and mundelete and none of them have
worked. I need something a little more thorough than those three,
something that will scan the drive itself instead of only checking
the inodes.
Any suggestions?
have you tried the ultimate boot cd?
http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
not sure if it has anything you need, but it has alot on it. The
web site list all the programs on it, you might find something
useful, if not for now maybe later on.
It does have partition recovery tools on it. But I am not sure they will
work after doing a re-install. I hate to say it, but it would have been
fairly simple to recover before trying to re-install Linux. But it is
worth a try...
