Hi Group, I have formatted a drive (simple format - no zeroing out) when I meant to zap a partition. I haven't lost anything of 'importance', but can I use a utility program to scan the drive's sectors and reconstitute the data onto another drive? I seem to remember using Disc Doctor back in the day to do something like this under OS9. I immediately shut down the computer and pulled the drive, well, after exercising my 4 letter vocabulary for a moment, so the drive is untouched except for the 'format' command from disk utility. It would be much easier to recover the drive than reconstituting from a plethora of opticals. Thanks Richard
