[ale] recovering an ext3 drive

[Mike Lockhart]

40 gig drive, but only about 2 gigs are used on it as far as data goes. 
I ran fsck.ext3 and it repaired a few things, gave me a lost+found dir
on the drive (/dev/hdd2) when i mount it now, but still no data, though
grep still returns that i found a matching binary file to my search
strings.  *shrug*  :)
