I have copied the partition to another partition (using dd).
The critical data in the deleted  folder(s) was my SeaMonkey profile.
I discovered I did have a several months old backup of the profile.
I am now running Squeeze  (9.1) from a fresh install and installed the 
latest SeaMonkey on it.

Several packages in the Debian repository have been suggested. I will 
download their man-pages and will try them.

Several forensic packages have also been suggested which will used if 
required.

Thanks for the help.
