Recovering MySQL Server 4 Data from crashed Harddrive

[Daniel Rindt]

Hello everyone,

my current task is to recover (most/ all) data from a crashed harddisc. i 
think that the carving method is the best in my case, the directory 
sturctures are broken. 
so i try to profile mysql data for recovering with foremost. but to my horror 
i have established that the MYD files are not having a header or footer.
I had created some Tables an filled with random data with various combinations 
of table structures...

the tables i want to recover is approx 2GB. The used Storage Engine is MyISAM.

ok, the argument that i can watch the source is correct, but i want save the 
time. i am very happy about answers which are helping me to bring the light 
near to me.

Thanks in advance
Daniel
