I wasn't very bright and I deleted some files that I need for school. I need to parse a dump of my hard drive for the files. The file will be hundreds of gigabytes in size. Can anyone tell me a way to do this in c or python? I know that c can only handle files up to 2 gigabytes in size is there any way I can get Around this? My parsing will be done on a 64 bit machine running ubuntu 10.04

A data recovery application will do the job much better than you trying to parse the disk dump by yourself. – casablanca Sep 6 '10 at 5:09

No, we can't tell you, because any possible answer would be operating system and filesystem specific, and you haven't specified. – dan04 Sep 6 '10 at 5:22

I am attempting to use photorec and test disk however testdisk can only undelete files from certain filesystems. And I am using a Mac which uses hfs+ which isn't supported in testdisks undelete – romejoe Sep 6 '10 at 15:14
