Today I deleted some file's I wasn't suppose to delete from a EXT3 partition :s. I'm trying hard to recover the files but have no real results.

Does anyone has some tips for me?

Thnx!

I know this is off-topic, but ... :

Linux is great to undelete lost files from a ... NTFS filesystem. That's right, writing to NTFS is still shaky, but undeletion has been working for a long time:

apt-get install ntfsprogs
man ntfsundelete

I was able to undelete about 95% of pictures my silly gf accidentally deleted from her HD.

I found the same thing, after deleting a lot of pictures from a CF card formatted in fat/vfat. I managed to recover all the files I'd deleted after a few google searches pointed me in the right direction.

magicrescue looks like it might be worth a shot if yer data was structured files (not plain text). I found the link in ext3-users, but i've never used it myself, so i won't endorse it (most of my files are text-only anyway). But it'd be nice if it worked.

Please report what you end up trying (and what your results are)!

photorec can recover quite a lot of file types (and not just image files).
