okay, i had a sega rom that i really wanted to show a friend and it saved the avi playback as the same file name and deleted over it, the original rom was in a seperate zip file first named *sega* so i wanted to remove the overwritten sega rom, therefore i typed rm sega*, but this was entirely accidently, can someone tell me if its possible to bring my rom back to life by restoring it somehow? thank you

First thing: As you read this, unmount the drive in question imediately! If it's your root partition, log of your computer, shutdown, boot a LiveCD(!) and come back.

Now try your luck with this http://recover.sourceforge.net/linux/ or this http://e2undel.sourceforge.net/usage.html site. ;-)

Nicely filled the air with noises.
Unfortunately, your wrong. If you deleted stuff and go on working on the partition, it's not unlikely that the deleted file(s) is/are overwritten soon.
