Did I do something wrong while trying to recover files with foremost?

Question

Now, i need to create a .ico file in my actionscript project. But I can not find a lib.

Here is ICODecoder (actionscript lib) for reading ico file and get the bitmap data.

But what i really need is conver jpg/png to .ico file.

Solution

I think you could add the option "-d" (which means "indirect block detection", that works fine with unix) and specify the kind of files you want to recover (like zip or jpg or ole). The result:

sudo foremost -d -o /recovery/foremost -t jpg,ole,zip -i /dev/hda

Or I can't use foremost without a LiveCD?

After some googling it seems to me, that no open source solution exists..but heres a Flex app converticon.com , that does what you need, perhaps if you write him, he'll give you his encoder

That means that you can't recover the folders that the files where in?

Yes, the organization of the folders like we see is different from how they are write on disk.
