Carving XML/SVG files

I accidentally deleted data on a FAT32 filesystem on a 16GB memory card. It was half full. I need to recover some XML/SVG files from it. The delete was by a rmdir command on non-empty directories, while mounted via ADBFS onto Linux. I unmounted the filesystem immediately and tried Foremost. It recovered many of the files, but it does not recognize the XML/SVG format.

Is there some file carving software that handles XML/SVG files? Otherwise, is it possible to configure Foremost to recover them? Any help is greatly appreciated. --RM — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.247.216.191 (talk) 04:46, October 26, 2014

PhotoRec has file carving for SVG files. It handles general XML files, too. But I don't have any personal experience with the program. --Mark viking (talk) 05:02, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can hear my mic from my speakers

I have a Gold Wireless Stereo Headset (PlayStation 3 & PlayStation 4) I use it on my PC which is ok it says you can on sony's website. When I use a program that uses a mic or could use a mic I can start to hear what is going into my mic. I have a fan behind me and the headset blocks out most of the noise but if I use skype or sony vegas I can hear my mic in my headset. I have tried to fix it in the sound and recording settings (windows 7) and it didnt do anything if I mute my mic on skype I can still hear it but if I mute my mic on the headset the mic noise stops. I really want to fix this it makes talking on skype impossible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.42.31.250 (talk) 14:46, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
