Hi All, I have been given a laptop to look at for a friend, the hard disk is close = to death with a SMART error on POST. My initial thought was to just mount i= t on an Windows 7 machine and grab what I can from the drive. No joy Window= s insists that the partition is RAW and I need to format it. I can however = mount it under FreeBSD without any problems, the directory structure appear= s to be intact but there are no files in the places I would expect to find = them under the Users directory, I am guessing that these have somehow been = deleted or perhaps the victim of a partial OEM recovery process. Is there a= way to scan the drive for deleted files from the command line or something= from the ports tree that anyone can recommend to fulfil this requirement. Regards Graeme
