On the article above you can find a method for restoring deleted files. The application they use is called Foremost. This sounds like a very useful thing. it only works for linux and as long as the sectors on the hard drive have not been overwritten. The article notes that when the files are recovered they will not have the name that they previously had, but the data should all be there.
