Free data recovery hard drive software for linux

The gzip Recovery Toolkit attempts to automate the recovery of data from corrupted gzip files (including tarballs) through a program called gzrecover. gzip Recovery Toolkit package is still very experimental at this point.
99% of "corrupted" gzip archives are caused by transferring the file via FTP in ASCII mode instead of binary mode. Please re-transfer the file in the correct mode first before attempting to recover from a file you believe is corrupted.
This program is provided AS IS with absolutely NO WARRANTY. It is not guaranteed to recover anything from your file, nor is what it does recover guaranteed to be good data. The bigger your file, the more likely that something will be extracted from it. Also keep in mind that this program gets faked out and is likely to "recover" some bad data. Everything should be manually verified.
Usage:
Run gzrecover on a corrupted .gz file. Anything that can be read from the file will be written to a file with the same name, but with a .recovered appended (any .gz is stripped). You can override this with the -o option.
To get a verbose readout of exactly where gzrecover is finding bad bytes, use the -v option to enable verbose mode. This will probably overflow your screen with text so best to redirect output to a file.
Once gzrecover has finished, you will need to manually verify any data recovered as it is quite likely that our output file is corrupt and has some garbage data in it. If your archive is a tarball, read on.
For tarballs, the tar program will choke because GNU tar cannot handle errors in the file format. Fortunately, GNU cpio (tested at version 2.5 or higher) handles corrupted files out of the box.
Heres an example:
$ ls *.gz
my-corrupted-backup.tar.gz
$ gzrecover my-corrupted-backup.tar.gz
$ ls *.recovered
my-corrupted-backup.tar.recovered
$ cpio -F my-corrupted-backup.tar.recovered -i -v
If you have a previous release, please note that the patches to GNU tar have been discontinued. They were only marginally successful at best and GNU cpio does what is needed out of the box and does it far better.
Enhancements:
- Documentation updates, including a man page, plus code cleanup to better enable inclusion in GNU/Linux packages and eliminate compilation warnings.

Vector Linux is a small, fast, Linux operating system for Intel, AMD and x86 compatible systems, based on one of the original Linux distributions, Slackware.
The Vector development team is proud to announce SOHO 5.1.2-live. We started with SOHO 5.1 added all the recent bugfix patches, and rolled it into a livecd. This is what I believe to be the most feature packed livecd available. It comes with two complete desktops kde-3.4.2, and xfce4.
Built upon the great heritage that is slackware. this release features the 2.6.15.1 kernel, OpenOffice 2.0, Firefox-1.5, Scribus, the Gimp, Mplayer, multimedia pluggins, printer support, scanner support and everything a complete desktop/work station should have.
Plus all of Vectors own administration utilities, and just look at this list of wireless modules
If youve ever wanted to try Vector, or just wanted to show your friends, without having to partition hard drives then here is your chance.
Enhancements:
- The VectorLinux team is proud to announce the release of VectorLinux 5.8 Live CD and the first SOHO 5.8 alpha live CD and DVD. This is the final release for 5.8 standard GOLD live. The hard drive installer that has been problematic is fixed and should work well. The SOHO 5.8 alpha live comes in either CD or DVD editions. The DVD edition includes all that is in the SOHO 5.8 install release plus 62 additional language packs for KDE. The CD version has lost some functionality due to size constraints. The development tool chain and OpenOffice.org were removed.

TINA is an open source environment developed to accelerate the process of image analysis research.

TINA provides functionality to assist in all areas of image analysis including handling of image, image feature and geometrical data; statistical and numerical analysis of data; GUI development as well as transmission and containment of data.

TINA also provides a range of high-level analysis techniques for both machine vision (3D object location, 2D object recognition, temporal-stereo depth estimation, etc) and medical image analysis (MR tissue segmentation, blood flow analysis, etc).

Now, thanks to the magic of KNOPPIX, you can experience TINA without installing any software. Simply place the CD into the CD drive of any PC and reboot.

Place the CD into the CD drive of any (reasonably modern) PC and reboot. The PC must be able to boot from the CD drive: if your own bootloader or windows starts up, reboot again and check your bios settings (you will probably be prompted to press DEL during startup). On the bios settings screen, check the boot devices: the first should be the floppy drive, the second the CD drive and the third the hard drive (possibly with a fourth option of booting from a network device). Check you motherboard manual for more details.

The KNOPPIX CD contains a live Linux distribution based on Debian, with a KDE 3 desktop. The TINA libraries are in /usr/local/TINA5, and some TINA demos are in /usr/local/Tina5/tina-tools/toolkits/knoppix_tookit (they can be accessedvia the desktop icons).

Joyce and Anne projects emulate the Amstrad PCW series of computers. Joyce emulates the 8000, 9000, and 10 series; Anne emulates the PcW16.
When moving from a PCW to an emulator, the biggest change you have to accustom yourself to is the way that JOYCE handles discs. Real PCWs (except the few with add-on hard drives) use real floppy discs; you use a start-of-day disc to use LocoScript or MicroDesign, a data disc to save your work on, and so on.
It is possible for JOYCE to use real disc drives in the same way that a PCW does. However this is pretty slow and awkward; since the PCs got a hard drive, you might as well use it.
Enhancements:
- A bug in the Z80 emulation which caused Starglider to hang has been corrected.

Hard Disk Temperature Monitor is my first superkaramba theme, it uses the package hddtemp, please verify if your system has it installed.

I modify this image(http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=28748)

And made the Icon, from 2 images from the web.

The entire theme is in spanish, but you can translate to any language.

I really apreciate your comments!

Thank you so much, and greetings from Medellin-Colombia!

The GRAMPS project is proud to announce the first release of the Linux Genealogy Install CD. In contrast with the Live CD, this disk allows permanent installation of Linux and genealogical software on your computers hard drive.

This Install CD is based on Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) Install CD and, in addition to the regular Breezy install, features pre-installed GRAMPS, GeneWeb, and LifeLines applications, as well as GraphViz program to draw pretty graphs in GRAMPS. The CD is available only for the x86 architecture.

In contrast with the Live CD, this disk allows permanent installation of Linux and genealogical software on your computers hard drive. This way you achieve adequate speed and the ability to save your data, and can do real work with your Linux software. Everything is similar to the Live CD, except that this is a permanent setup.

This way you achieve adequate speed and the ability to save your data, and can do real work with your Linux software. In particular, it makes a perfect gift for genealogists who want to work on Linux.
