Re: [LI] Recover from faulty floppy disk >> IF EXT2 <<

Hi

If its a EXT2 filesystem on the floppy, then you have a very good chance of
recovering most of the files. (Most probably even after running fsck on it,
unless You have already written any NEW FILES into the floppy).

Check out the Undelete HOWTO. Even thou its bit old and the Ext2 logic has
changed a bit (actually the new logic doesn't zero the bitmap of storage info,
THUS GIVING A BETTER CHANCE OF RECOVERY).
