I found one Test Disk using the following search string in Google

data recovery software open source

Its from the software list in the second result
Lots of nice software there

Hey, use your Drive manufacturer's own recovery tools, they'd work! But they're for Windows alone. Check the respective websites.

this a grey area where linux needs more development
the software for data recovery of deleted data

 

[praka123]

^afaik it is near to impossible to recover deleted data as in windows.

Well I just googled and found Linux Data Recovery softwares for Linux filesystems.

*www.datarecoverylinux.com/
*www.stellarinfo.com/linux-data-recovery.htm
*www.diskdoctors.net/linux-data-recovery/software.html

I think the last one deals with fat32, not sure though.

There is no option Open as Admin ! Btw how can I del. those I know rmdir <filename> <path> but thats hectic for each and every file how can I do massive del

Open nautilus in root mode:

gksudo nautilus

I hope you can proceed after that, all mounted stuff will be under /media ..

Offtopic:

btwn i am on debian

Its btw (by the way) and not between :-\ or are you saying 'btw' n times?

Hey that did not worked I still cannot del. desktop.ini and others

Also which is the latest repo. of Compiz Fuison... Amarnath seems not to work here

 

[infra_red_dude]

i really dunno how the root nautilus didn't allow you to delete file. jus right click on it and check the permissions tab in properties as root. change if required.

regarding compiz, trevino's has the most up to date packages (currently 0.5.5). i guess amarnath's repos haf 0.5.2. dunno why but amarnath's repos never worked for me.
