Re: Recovering deleted files from FAT32

I have a SD card in my Nokia 6288, formatted as FAT32. Every month or
so, the phone locks up and when I power down and back up, the card
appears empty. I then bring the card over to a friend's windows
computer to run some file recovery program to recover the files. Is
there such a program for Debian that works with FAT32? The files are
obviously there, as in this case (now) I had 700 MB of the 2GB card
used, but now it looks like an empty 1300 MB card.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?


Hey,
It may be overkill, but the sleuthkit/autopsy combination can usually
recover just about anything.
