It did happen! I booted from the Tiger DVD, went to Disk Utility, set up the "free space" into MacOS format, hit "Partition" button... and all my data was gone! :-((( (to be honest, Disk Utility informed me that it would happen) My previous partitions remained as they were, but they "lost" any data on them (evidently, Disk Utility rewrote the whole Partition Map, not just the new one) So, beware!!! Thanks God, I backed up (almost) everything. But something went lost (I was hopeful I wouldn't experience this) Does anybody know some way to "get back" the lost data? (at least on the partitions I didn't write anything on... Data is still there, obviously, it's just the directory got deleted, I think) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
