First of all thank you for your suggestion, I've tried your suggestion and change the blocksize, It didn't work out either. I've also tried using icat on that inode (which doesn't use blocksize) it didn't work either. is it possible that the data unit that being pointed by the metadata (FAT entries) already used by another file/folder? actually I managed to save some of those (if it is true that that is the files) files needed, by using foremost, and I need to find the names of the files, so I tried using dd and/or icat. so the bottomline is I need a way to extract those excel, or found out the name that foremost carved, or make sure that some of those files shown with fls is actually the one that foremost recovered. Thank you before, and sorry for my bad english. On Sun, Feb 23, 2014 at 1:13 AM, Alex Nelson <ajn...@cs...> wrote: > Hi Ewaldo, > > Your dd should work given the sector offsets.
