Live CDs with file reovery recommendations?

[Wang191]

Hey all. I'm looking for recommendations for a Live CD platform that has file recovery on it. Something like Recuva for windows but on a Live CD. I have seen Knopix and Back Track as live cds but I have not seen them discuss file recovery. Mostly just browsing existing file systems.

Does anyone out there know of a good platform to work with?

Knoppix and backtrack both have the tool foremost. Google it and it'll do what you need for a fucked up file system. If the filesystem is fine then either will let you just browse the files.

Oh, I didn't realize it did more than just browse the base file structure.

Thanks!
