Upgrade went real well with one exception I'll get to in a moment. Thanks for your
suggestions. They helped me overcome my trepidation and go for it.
Prior to installation, I decided to "erase" my OS X partition (Special -> Erase Disk)
I but had the wrong disk partition selected ("Backup" instead of "OS 10")! Won't do
that again (especially since, after the fact, I learned that the installation gives me
the option to do just that!).
Disk warrior can't help me recover my here-yesterday-gone-today files so I bought
Norton Utilities 8.0 hoping it would do the trick. I contacted the vendor prior to
purchase asking them if their product will do this. I've not heard back (yet).
After the disk arrived last night, I tried both "Volume Recover" and "Unerase" several
times selecting several different options, one of which took all night to scan my disk
partion, but Norton can't find any of my "erased" files.
I've written nothing to the partition since the accident and have told the utilities
I've tried (DW and NU) to not save changes.
Any suggestions on recovering my erased-through-carelessness "backup" disk partition?
Thanks.
Steve K (the other one)
