Hey, use your Drive manufacturer's own recovery tools, they'd work! But they're for Windows alone. Check the respective websites.

Well I just googled and found Linux Data Recovery softwares for Linux filesystems.

http://www.datarecoverylinux.com/
http://www.stellarinfo.com/linux-data-recovery.htm
http://www.diskdoctors.net/linux-dat.../software.html

I think the last one deals with fat32, not sure though.

Open nautilus in root mode:

Code:
gksudo nautilus
I hope you can proceed after that, all mounted stuff will be under /media ..

i really dunno how the root nautilus didn't allow you to delete file. jus right click on it and check the permissions tab in properties as root. change if required.

regarding compiz, trevino's has the most up to date packages (currently 0.5.5). i guess amarnath's repos haf 0.5.2. dunno why but amarnath's repos never worked for me.

Code:
Mounting /media/sda1 failed.

$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 1)
Failed to mount '/dev/disk/by-uuid/C4445B1A445B0F14': Operation not supported
Mount is denied because NTFS logfile is unclean. Choose one action:
   Boot Windows and shutdown it cleanly, or if you have a removable
   device then click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows
   taskbar notification area before disconnecting it.
Or
   Run ntfsfix version 1.13.1 on Linux unless you have Vista.
Or
   Mount the NTFS volume with the 'ro' option in read-only mode.
Got this error ,,, with NTFS config.. even replace ntfs with ntfs-3g in fstab doesn't work My hadd are not mounted but yes this do job in Fat32

@shashwat:first find ur ntfs partition via "sudo fdisk -l".then if u have ntfsprogs ,try "ntfsfix /dev/xxx" and boot to windows and windows will fix via chkdisk ur ntfs errors.(seems u have)
reg /etc/fstab,use /dev/sdax for ur ntfs partition instead of UUID.or if u want UUID to be entered,use "sudo blkid" or "vol_id" command to get uuid's corresponding to the partition and edit /etc/fstab accordingly.

Also meathods and repo. of latest Cf links would do fine

Mounting volume... Error opening partition device : Permission denied
Failed to startup volume : Permission denied
FAILED
Attempting to correct errors... Error opening partition device : Permission denied

Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.
shashwat@shashwat-desktop:~$ ntfsfix  /dev/sda3
Refusing to operate on read-write mounted device /dev/sda3.
shashwat@shashwat-desktop:~$
Code:
shashwat@shashwat-desktop:~$ ntfsfix  /dev/sda1

shashwat@shashwat-desktop:~$ ntfsfix  /dev/sda3

I did install NTFS fix by
