Very true, but if there was a backup of the data, there would be no need to try and retrieve the lost files with recovery software such as TechTool or Norton. When there is no backup available, as was the case in the original post, having a partition allows you to save the recovered files to another, separate segment of the HD without fear of overwriting other files you might still want to recover from the first partition. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

data recovery software
HI, I am looking for suggestions on data recovery software. I want to undelete some files that I trashed. I am using Mac OS 9 on a Pismo Powerbook. I have tried Norton Systemworks without much success (I did not use Norton Filesaver prior to my trashing). Do TechTool (3.0.9) or DiskWarrior work any better? thanks, albert -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
