Read the tool's homepage. But I'm pretty sure it just looks at the |
| 12 |
bits on the drive and saves any collection of said bits which match |
| 13 |
specification for a jpeg, doc &c file. I.E. no remaining filesystem |
| 14 |
is needed, it does exactly what you need (although filenames aren't |
| 15 |
preserved. I don't know about the other suggestions, so they might be |
| 16 |
worth trying first. |

Do this FIRST! BEFORE you do anything else. Then you can always dd |
| 23 |
the drive back to its current state and try a different method if the |
| 24 |
first fails. |
