I took a trip to the local Apple Store (Providence Mall) and one of the techs said to check my Trash; the files may still be there. (otherwise he recommended a 3rd party product; thank you all for your suggestions). The question I didn't think to ask him (until after I left, naturally) was, the drive has not been re-formatted; but, it does not have the name I gave it, so I'm assuming it will need to be formatted before I can move the files back on to it. Is this true? AND, I do understand there is a distinction between recovering formatted disks and Un-deleting. What I need is un-delete. I'm assuming if I re-format, all chances of recovering the files are lost; yes, or no?
