The hard disk is 250 Gb with /, /swap and now /home on separate partitions: sda4, sda6 and sda7. sda7 is about 120 Gb total.
i ran testdisk once from a PCLinuxOS Live Install but at this point all i can find are the existing partitions and their folders an files.
i have a 500 Gb hd connect to the lappy by USB although it's only got about 180 Gb of space left.
A couple of questions now arise: Am i using the correct files recovery program for this task? If so, what other commands should i try to find these files? If not, what other program should i use... i've seen lots of references to photorec but it appears to be a program i'd have to but and for the Linux version they want $80 U.S.
Hopefully someone can give me a hand with this. Have a great afternoon!
