Hi- Last night I made a big mistake and copied a pictures sub-directory over another Pictures sub-directory effectively deleting over 4,000 .jpg pictures. All of the pictures were stored on a Newtorked Buffalo Technology LiveStation hard drive. The hard drive runs Linux, although I access the hard drive from a Windows NT based computer.
After reading this informational article, I would like to use either TestDisk or PhotoRec to attempt to receover these files. I have a Knoppix boot disk.
What is the best way to use one of these programs? Shoudl I boot from Knoppix and then run the program and poin to teh network drive? Is it possible to run one of these programs directly on the Buffalo Live Station network drive. Any help that is provided would be much appreciated? Thanks
