Comments on Data Recovery Techniques on Linux

Data Recovery Techniques on Linux When one of my friends called telling me that he had accidentally deleted some important files from his drive, his exasperation was understandable. It happens to everyone at some point of their computer-using lives. Unfortunately, in his case, those were some extremely important documents that, had he not recovered them, could have proven very costly.

Where is the recovery software installed? On the Live CD or thumbdrive version of the system? Or the main system?

    In case of a data loss, the process of rebooting does work. But if it is done with a CD drive it can make things easier. But this may not be the same as with Linux running on a thumb device. Since a thumb device can fail to reboot as faced with Windows.
