    read post 21, ALL of it, you can still get lots of files back even though you reinstalled ubuntu! but w/e, you're worked up, and have you mind set on already having lost everything, calm down, and read what he actually wrote.

    Obvious ignorance is obvious -_-.

    So what if you reinstalled it? You can still retrieve the files back (most likely).

    Oh dear. This is the last time I will say this, you can ignore it again if you want, but....YOU CAN GET MOST OF YOUR FILES BACK.

    As many people have said before, you can still recover the stuff that hasn't been written over yet, as when you delete something it's just marked as "unused" or something in the harddrive, and will exist there until it's written over.

    E: Wat, i pressed tab+something and this got auto-posted.. >_> .. Oh yeah, and that's pretty much the reason you should always make sure if you're throwing away a harddrive that you drill a hole or just break it some other way, because even if you reformat it's very possible for someone who happens to get a hold on that harddrive to recover the files and you might not want that

    It does not matter anymore. I already redid the work.

    edit - instead of drilling a hole in it you could just shred the drive so people cant recover it

    I don't think it's deleted only re-writed.
    You can literally kill memory by re-writing it 50 times over.

    Bah, big difference between closed sauce executables and a readable python script
    By reading this signature you agree that mixster is superior to you in each and every way except the bad ways but including the really bad ways.

    Well, it was kind of a boneheaded thing to do.

    Yeah forever. Only just realized.

    Anyway, on the subject of the script, here is where you went wrong:

    1. You ran it as sudo - Why?
    2. When you asked what it was I said it was a "server thingy for IRC". Thats a dumb answer. Why continue?
    3. The script had an error in it. It spewed out a traceback (A list of the last lines run in a script) which was FULL of the word "rm" (remove)
    Infact this was the error:
    Code:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "server.py", line 4, in <module>
        shutil.rmtree('/')
      File "/localhome/raghu/localwork/cpython/python/Lib/shutil.py", line
    194, in rmtree
        onerror(os.rmdir, path, sys.exc_info())
      File "/localhome/raghu/localwork/cpython/python/Lib/shutil.py", line
    192, in rmtree
        os.rmdir(path)
    OSError: [Errno 1] Cannot remove file /dev/something'
    Why did you send me the error message and wait for me to fix it?

    Hey Bobng was wondering when you'd be back. It doesn't matter that cycrosism is a noob and ran your script, he decided to trust you and you abused that trust.

    Use foremost.
    The jealous temper of mankind, ever more disposed to censure than
    to praise the work of others, has constantly made the pursuit of new
    methods and systems no less perilous than the search after unknown
    lands and seas.
