Subject: undeleting a file
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:29:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200810301929.16677.jsowden@americansentry.net> (raw)

I accidently deleted 4 current revisions of some source code on a computer 
that boots in DOS or Linux.  The file system I believe is 32 bit, as if I 
boot from an MSDOS 6.22 floppy, I cannot access the c: drive.

Is there an undelete program for a fat32 file system, or,

a) is there a disk editor out there, like in the dos days when I could access 
the disk directly, and

b) in a fat32 file system, are files deleted in the same way, that is, by 
changing the first letter of the file name to an E5 which tells the OS that 
its  sectors are available for writing?

obviously, tia!

John
