What, exactly, did you do?

What program did you link, how did you link it, where was your data, etc. Ah yes, and did you link it in windows or linux?

I was playing around with windows 2000, and you can set it up with a profile on a network drive. I thought this would be neat to have all my personalized data in one spot. I thought windows would just set up it's files on the drive. And while I was watching that's what it did. Well when it was finished it decided to delete everything else in the directory. :(

I've used Easy Recovery Pro in the past on Windows boxes. I'm not sure if it will work on a Linux box. You could try to install it on the Win2K box and tell it recover the data on the shared drive. If it sees the drive and you haven't started saving files to the drive it should be able to give you a complete list of all of the files that you lost and recover them.

try searching freshmeat for a linux equic (i can't understand what you deleted) but DO NOT USE THAT COMP AT ALL. use another comp, get everything ready, then boot this one and asap set the drive that was deleteed to read only (ro). I used my comp too much and wasn't able to recover everything.
