    The best suggestion I can think of, since the filesystem is vfat, would
    be to download and burn a copy of bartPE, which is a windows based
    LiveCD. Depending on the version you download, there should be a file
    recovery program included.

    If you are not running Windows, I would suggest you convert the "fat32"
    partition to ext3/2. Fat32 is a windows partition and linux utilities
    that might undelete a file are pretty much non - existant, Not to
    mention shortcomings in fat32 like lack of security attributes for
    files/directories, limit on partition size, limit on file size, etc.
