Hi Phil Just to clarify, I am ok getting *all* data out of disk, whether old or new. My key issue is that while r-linux showed me files that it could recover, it did not show me any folder information. So, if getting folder information out requires getting all data out, I am fine with it. What is the way to get this information out for all data? Maybe I am missing something, but is getting data (old/new) out from disk too difficult ? In an earlier email, you had suggested possibly running fsck on sdc4 partition. Is that something I should be considering? Thanks, Amit
