How can I restore a file?

Hello!
I deleted the disk of my camera by rm, and I need to restore these files.
I cannot do it by unrm because that utility is meant for use in ext/ufs filesystem, and that disk is msdosfs.
Someone help me!

Thanks for any answer!

You meant Camera & Posted in Ubuntu ?

What exactly you mean ?

If you mean you removed images from the memory card of your digital camera, then do this:
1) CREATE A BACKUP, NOW!!! To do this, enable the hardware write protection on the card and put it in your computer. Now create an image by using dd:
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/<carddevice> of=backup.img

You get the carddevice name by looking at the last few lines of the output of dmesg, or by letting the desktop automounter mount the card, and looking at the first column of the output of mount. When you're done, remove the card, and don't touch it till this is over.

2) Create a copy of the backup. One file you'll work on, the other is a save in case something goes wrong and you have to start over.

3) Install recoverjpeg. Should be part of your Ubuntu repositories:
Code:
sudo apt-get install recoverjpeg

4) Run it on the image you've just made:
Code:
recoverjpeg backup.img

This should restore as many JPEGs as possible.
