You can't kick me harder than I am kicking myself.
I had a file (abc.xls) on a laptop with partitioned windows HDD.
The laptop was old and was replaced, data was transferred.
Linux (Ubuntu) was installed on the laptop in one big partition as a learning experiment.
The file abc.xls has gone missing....
I am looking for a program to interrogate the Linux drive and recover a windows .xls program - that was on the drive before linux installed itself - , assuming it has not been overwritten.
I have contemplated ddrescue/dd_rhelp but these appear to be for current files on a damaged disk?
Before I dig any further, does anyone have any favourite programs that might work?
TIA
