2/24    ...its been asked before, but.... anyone have a suggestion for
        a good data recovery program for windows? My girlfriend seems to
        have corrupted or deleted some crucial file. hopefully cheap or
        with a free demo or something.

        \_ GetDataBack.  Worked a charm for me.  Otherwise find a friend
           who does security forensics and ask him if he'll run EnCase for
           you.  -John

5/5     Any recommendations for data recovery software for NTFS partitions?
        I have an NTFS partition that produces this error in linux:
          "ntfs_read_inode_mount(): Couldn't find first extent of $DATA attribute
           in attribute list. $MFT is corrupt. Run chkdsk"
        \_ Eh... I'd try it with a real windows box before assuming the

3/18    Windows reads/writes NTFS.  Modern linux reads/writes NTFS.
        I think Macs read it.  Dunno if they write it.  Is there any reason
        for me not to make my portable usb drives NTSF now?
        \_ have you tried to move a NTFS from  one windows PC to another?
           Try that first and then decide on which FS to use...
        \_ Macs can write to NTFS if you install NTFS-3g.

4/7     xcopy sucks. It crashes when encountering a file with a
        path longer than 255 characters. Thanks Microsoft.
        \_ What do you expect it to do?  Windows doesn't support paths longer
           than 255 characters (unless you're using \\?\-style Unicode paths).
           \_ I'd expect it to SKIP the file, not crash with an error
              message that says "insufficient memory". So if Windows doesn't

11/9    Hard drive crashed. Data recovery? Freeware? I've heard of
        http://www.drivesavers.com They charge worst case $18k
        per GB but I heard you *will* get your data back. Ugh... how
        about http://www.restorer2000.com which I've heard is
        easy to use and restored my friend's files after some very
        important sectors went bad.

1/15    This is a computer question which photo geeks would appreciate.
        I am trying to
           extract date/time from JPEG's EXIF header and use that to
           override Windows/NTFS's filename's create time.   I need to

12/22   On XP, I have folders using Chinese characters. I also have
        file names using Chinese characters. When I do a samba mount
        from my Linux to XP, I can do everything if the file name
        isn't using Chinese characters. How do I get around this
        restriction? Thanks.

10/29   It's been over 10 years since I took 162. What is a good place
        for a refresher course on the architecture and advantages vs.
        disadvantages of using various file systems for BSD, Linux,
        MacOS, NT/XP, and others? ok thx.
