    The best tools for file recovery that I know of are TestDisk and PhotoRec. I don't know whether they will recover such files or not, but you can try them on your file(s) to see what happens:

    TestDisk - CGSecurity

    PhotoRec - CGSecurity

    You can find both apps on the Parted Magic LiveCD.
