Once again, this has nothing to do with Power Mail: It's extremely embarrassing, but I've managed to erase some 50 Gb of data and software from a hard disk. I had a 120 Mb disk drive with two partitions, one small 1 GB for a Classic OS and then the rest for data. I moved it to an old 6500 Mac, and it refused to run Mac OS 9.2, although it accepted Max OS 9.1. But I couldn't install v9.1 on the v9.2 volume so I though I just reinitialize the small 1 GB volume and install v9.1 on a empty volume.
When reinitializing, I got the usual warning about everything would be erased, but I thought it concerned the 1 Gb volume only. Then the whole hard disk was erased!! I feel so stupid and I'm in complete despair and wonder if some tech magician out there would be kind enough to advise me about what to do. I mean -- the data can be recovered...? Or can't it.....? :-( Max G
