I thought FAT32 files could be recovered in place on that file system
by programs that pre-check cluster chains, such as 'Ontrak Data
Recovery' (Not the Pro version!)(it sucks!) and most older Norton
un-delete programs... 'Get Data Back For Fat32' is very slow, but
quite reliable. FAT32 can be mapped for used clusters but NTFS can't,
thus it should be able to be restored without moving files out of the
drive. I was just curious of what file system it had, good luck.
