I'll take the first hit now. [code] Unit 8362688 (Hex - Ascii - Original) 1: 8 (AVI LIST~) [/code] Clicking (or Right-Arrow'ing) on the Hex shows what I searched for, opening it in the bottom right part of the page (or in that frame if those are frames, are they?). Since all the 21 occurrences looking them up summarily show the same kind of pattern, I'll post parts of what is shown in the bottom right part of the page for this his. I'll post entire beginning and end, and enough of the remaining parts to allow the right conjecture to be made of the parts not shown, such as the string "Mplayer jun k da ta!" simply keeps repeating all the way from where it starts at byte 473 IIUC: [code] Hex Contents of Unit 8362688 in vgn-Cmn-0-0-ext-2.unalloc 0 52494646 641e0000 41564920 4c495354 RIFF d...

The buttons: [code] "Previous" "Next" "Export Contents" "Add Note" [/code] The text: [code] ASCII (display - report) * Hex (display - report) * ASCII Strings (display - report) File Type: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 768 x 576, 25.00 fps, video: FFMpeg MPEG-4, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 48000 Hz) Unit: 8362688 View Original [/code] The fact that I've found what I wanted is not the end of story yet, at all! Now, all those (display - report) contain links, every display its own corresponding one, and every report its own corresponding one, on the same Unit 8362688 in the corresponding modality (ASCII, Hex or Strings). And it doesn't look to me those tell anyghing new that I didn't show in the paste of the Unit above. But where I think I should get closer to accomplishing my recovery, is the link, for the: [code] Unit: 8362688 [/code] under: [code] View Original [/code] I'll follow that link. It searches a little and replaces that "Unit: 8362688 View Original" text with another text that reads like this: [code] Fragment: 175069184 Status: Not Allocated Group: 5342 Find Meta Data Address [/code] And there is now another link in that new just shown text, and it is under "Find Meta Data Address", and it's quite some anxiety for me. Will this give me the inode of this file? I follow that new link, but, after a few moments of anxious search, the words "Find Meta Data Address" only get replaced with "Hide Meta Data Address" without the meta data address (or inode in case of an ext4 partition). Nothing to see of the inode number for this file. So the file remains nameless, and to get it out of this partition is not to be such and easy adventure. Let alone that it may not be one of the avi files that I need to recover. I think I should now open the "Data Unit" section, and try and find the: Fragment: 175069184 if I understand correctly that at that fragment or data unit (data unit and fragment is the same here, is it?), in the original partition. I open, from the menu in the top, the "Data Unit", and in it I first "Load Original". And only then I enter under the [code] Fragment Number: 175069184 [/code] Nothing more for now do I enter, but just follow "View". The screen in top right and bottom right is very similar, if not mostly the same (esp. after selecting Hex). And when selecting display in the parentheses after Hex, I'll check, without bothering the reader... ...I did check it, the only difference btwn the two is: [code] 1c1 < Hex Contents of Unit 8362688 in vgn-Cmn-0-0-ext-2.unalloc --- > Hex Contents of Fragment 175069184 in vgn-Cmn-0-0 [/code] And, I almost expect, that, in this original partition view, the "Find Meta Data Address" should give me the inode. Nope. This is showing: [code] Fragment: 175069184 Status: Not Allocated Group: 5342 Hide Meta Data Address Inode not found [/code] "Inode not found" it says very frankly and openly. And "Inode not found" was the case for each and every of the 21 hits. What now?
