Correct. Posibly also ext3.

need to recover from fat32 & reiser. No I am not going write to either
of those 2 partitions. In fact I am not going to touch that box until I
am ready to attempt some kind of recovery, or reformat :_( the whole
flaming thing.

The reiserfs you may consider a loss; but you might consider asking at
http://www.namesys.com/ for paid suport (they are the reiserfs
developpers). Or googling, perhaps.

(no mention in their FAQ of the word "delete" or "erase". There are
hits on their mail list, but for reiser4; an answer posted there by
Hans Reiser sends to the support page).

As for FAT32, yes, it is doable, and easy enough: there must be hundreds
of utilities out there, share/pay/freeware. Even MsDos has an
undelete/unformat somewhere. In the past I have used Norton Utilities and
PCTools (central point software) with good results; those results are more
reliable if the disk wasn't fragmented, or/and if you run one of those
gadgets to help in this situations, by maintaining snapshots of the system
areas of the disk, for instance. Notice that unformat is also doable
(for HDs) and different.
