For those who don’t know much about it, Ubuntu Rescue Remix is a free open-source software that comes on a small live CD to provide several tools for data recovery.
The latest version of the Ubuntu-based software toolkit, the 9.10 Karmic Koala, was released and is available for download as an ISO file, containing the GNU ddrecue 1.11, VMV2, Photorec and the GNU-Fdisk.

You can use the image available for download with the USB Startup Disk Creator, which you can find in System-Administration, allowing you to put the toolkit on an USB flash drive.
Having no graphic user interface and being based on the command line, its requirements are low in number, but there’s also the possibility to use the simple graphic environment by choosing the right metapackage. Both options will install the forensics tools and the data recovery on the Ubuntu system.

To recover lost or deleted files even from formatted drives you can use an Ubuntu Desktop CD, but in case you don’t have much RAM or access to the Internet, with the condition that the hard drive isn’t failed, the Ubuntu Rescue Remix is the best solution you can use.
The steps required in order to fix things are displayed on the official site of Ubuntu, in the Community Documentation section, where you can learn about DataRecovery.
