![]() ![]() Of course it could easily be somewhere completely different but this is the general case, the default, now. Anyway, the important result for us is that a lot of documentation assumes Windows will be on hda1 but in fact nowadays the important stuff, your stuff, is likely to be (or have been) on sda2. The idea seems to be that you can make a fresh installer Cd tailored to your particular machine. Previously only some laptops offered this. Windows 7 and Vista both routinely put a "recovery partition" at the front of drives now even as fresh installs from their installer Cd/dvd. ![]() This page is really just a copy of the DataRecovery page at the moment (25-11-2010) but hopefully it will pull together some of the other online guides and/or the presentation will get much more nicely sorted out. Theoretically it is possible and has been done in carefully controlled conditions in a science lab but apparently even extreme data-recovery labs do not offer that level of service. As so many people keep pointing out it cannot perform miracles = overwritten data cannot be recovered by this or any of the expensive alternatives. NtfsUndelete can recover deleted files from an NTFS file-system. Ubuntu seems to have both of these programs installed by default both on the LiveCd and when installed properly. Another program worth having if you have a Windows partition (they call it a drive even tho it is only part of a drive) is "ntfs-3g". NtfsUndelete is part of the bundle of programs in "ntfsprogs".
