Hi all... 
I am looking for some help/recommendations...   I kinda FUBARed my 
wife's computer over the weekend...  Here's the story:

I was working on my machine (gentoo linux) and looking to move some work 
files to my wifes computer (Win98) for work (I need to use AUTOCAD).  I 
created a link in xffm (xfce4 filemanager) and then tried to delete it.  
It deleted my wifes entire 'E:' drive with all of the pictures of our 
daughter from her birth a year and a half ago.  I don't have any good 
backups...  Well in my rush to fix the problem, I grabbed an undelete 
program from the web and went to town..  It ended up copying the deleted 
files to the E: drive, the one with the deleted files.  I was only able 
to get back about a third of the pics.  Running norton unerase gives me 
nothing now.

What I am looking for is any recomendations of someone who might be able 
to perform more of a low level recovery and what the costs might be.  My 
wife is ready to kill me!!!!  Thanks for any and all help.....
