Emergency! Accidental format of ext3

[Wil McGilvery]

I have used Stellar Phoenix to recover lost data for customers. So if you can't see the data, this will work. (Unfortunalty it is not free, but it is reasonable.) One point to note is that it will allow you to retrieve the data from your Linux machine, but the program itself is windows based. (can't win them all I guess)

Subject: [TLUG]: Emergency! Accidental format of ext3

Hi all,

   I just made a royal screw up and I need some serious help!

   I meant to run 'fsck.ext3 /dev/hda1' and instead ran 'mkfs.ext3
/dev/hda1'.

   Oh sh!t moment..

   I did this using Knoppix so the drive has not been touched yet. Is
there a way to recover the file system?

Madison
