Out of curiosity - why have you executed "russian roulette" script? You're not the type of user that it was targetted at, when vi_ have published it for the first time.

What can I say....

I am too stupid to live.

Hey you live and learn, don't get too down.

Right the method I used was to first of all use a command called dd to make an image of the drive on a file in my hard disk. Then I would make a copy of that image, and I think I used a program called photorec to recover the deleted files.

So what this means is, ideally, you'll need a minimum of 2 times the size of the partition you want to recover on your hard disk.

Okay Mrsellout.

I'll try and work on this later tonight.

In my defense though, I only ran that script 9 times.

You must be very lucky tonight.

I have to confess I almost think you are joking, apologies if I am wrong here... You have 3745 postings on the forum, and you have joined TMO back on 2007...

How is it humanly possible you missed the "rm -rf" bit in the script??
And you ran it multiple times??

Wow, I have that many posts here?

Now depression is really setting in for me.

Ah ah! I remember two years ago when I type the vi_ command out of curiosity on my laptop, and I didn't live on the first time! Then I learned a big lesson. Don't type commands without thinking a bit before... First I was a bit pissed off at vi_ (well, of course I didn't backup some important staff), thinking (why this a$...le put these kind of commands as signature?), but well it was my fault to be stupid, I could only blame this on me. I hope you learned a lesson too...

No, You're not. I'm just curious, what you wanted to, erm, achieve via this command. Was it just curiosity, too?

It is not entirely your fault, some kids like to post thinkgs like that without thinking that these things may happen.
