For the record:

pinkmechanic did you in fact use windows checkdisk to try to repair the filesystem?

Hope the advice here can help you. Good-luck.

File or disk recovery tools are good for files that have been accidentally deleted, corrupted file systems etc. The OP's situation is somehow different. It seems that he is beyond this step already and some recovery tool (most likely a rudimentary one like Windows chkdsk or whatewer the Android equivalent is) has already found his files and put them in the FOUND.000 folder, with all the original file names and sizes lost. The names are now automatically generated and the sizes are rounded up to multiples of 64K, which is the allocation unit size on MyDocs.

The good news is that nothing else seems lost. The data are still there, you "only" need to find the original file names. This may not be easy and you may need to do it manually but it is doable and you do not need to do it all at once.

I would start with something like
Code:
root
apt-get install file
cd /home/MyDocs/FOUNF.000
file * >filetypes.txt
This will create a text file listing all the files in that folder and their types. That will give you a hint how to rename the extension(e.g. FILE0042.CHK to FILE0042.mp3 - just a made up example).

The second step would be opening each and every renamed file and checking the contents and figuring out the original name.

The files will end up larger than they were to start with, rounded up to the nearest multiple of 64K. For most file types this is irrelevant. For text files you will notice some random garbage appended; you just delete it and you are sorted.

There might be tools to do that but chances are it's too late (the original names lost for good) and from the OP's panicking I assume he might not be the ideal driver of such tools.

What handaxe means is that the FOUND folder is probably a result of running chkdsk.

Your repo's can't be found for some reason. We could try and fix that first, but perhaps it's more practical to just download them with your N900 on the locations below.

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...osso_armel.deb

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...osso_armel.deb

After you download the files, and assuming you have them downloaded under the folder /MyDocs/debs, you would:

Code:
sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/MyDocs/debs
dpkg -i *.deb
That should install both the package "file" and it's dependency libmagic.

After that use the code as proposed by Pichlo.

Code:
cd /home/MyDocs/FOUND.000
file * >filetypes.txt
