Answer / senthil
Determine the partition in which the file you wish to
recover was located by using the command pwd (present work
directory)
and unmount the current directory by using the command
umount. Use the "debugfs" command. The "debugfs" command is
used to handle most major errors and bugs that can occur in
Linux by using #debugfs /usr/directory name.Use the "lsdel"
once you have begun the debug of the file system.Recover
those files you wish to undelete and take backup of that file.

single user mode
#init 1
#grep -b 'search-text' /dev/partition > file.txt
To recover text file starting with "nixCraft" word on
/dev/sda1 you can try following command:
# grep -i -a -B10 -A100 'nixCraft' /dev/sda1 > file.txt
Next use vi to see file.txt. This method is ONLY useful if
deleted file is text file. If you are using ext2 file
system, try out recover command. .
