| Issue |
In QNX2, there were some useful file recovery utilities called scan_for_file and relink_file. The scan_for_file utility would allow you to specify a string or ascii sequence, starting block, etc. and then would start searching the disk drive for an occurrence of this string. This was particularly useful if you had accidentally removed a file or directory and wanted to try and recover lost data. The relink_file utility would allow you to create a new file name or specify an existing file to link the newfound data into.
Does QNX4 have any utilities, similar to QNX2's scan_for_file, that will let us search un-allocated areas of the disk for specific data?

Yes, there is a tool called disk_raw which may be obtained from our Contributed software section in the path /usr/free/qnx4/os/utils/disk/disk_raw.tgz |
