There are a couple options out there.  Most you pay for, but a few have

I've trashed it and emptied the trash by accident. One or two files
contained data I have no backup of since a about a week, meaning that a
lot of work is lost. I know I'm the culprit, I'm just trying to recover as
much as I can, if there's any chance.

I have done very little after that on the machine concerned, basically
only realising that norton file saver was not enabled, oh great. The
erased partition was a data only partition, no system on it, so I'm
positive I've not overwritten anything in there.

Any suggestion as how to recover the erased data?
Obviously you are aware of the need to avoid writing _anything_ to the
partition where were the files to be recovered, especially the need to
recover files to another volume. One thing you can do to protect the
lost-data volume from being written to accidentally is to write-protect
it using Drive Setup. Launch DS, select the drive containing the volume
and go menu-Volume SettingsĀŠ-List of Volumes then select the volume
from the list and check the Write protected box.

Data Rescue has a good reputation for file recovery, though I've never
been able to use much of what it recovered from HFS+ partitions (files
mostly mixed up/scrambled.) Disk Warrior can also recover files, hold
down the option key while at its main pane and the rebuild button turns
into a scavange button. I've not used DW for this since I learned of
this ability but I've seen several very positive reports. I'd avoid using
Norton unless all other approaches fail and you are desperate. In any
case, write-protecting the volume should keep Norton from making things
worse.

hth,

Dan

1. Don't write anything to that partition until you've given up.
2. Use Tech Tools Pro to recover files. If you're lucky, they'll 
appear in a recovered files folder on your desktop.

deleted data recovery: urgent help needed

2004-02-05 Thread gf sciacca
so as it happens, I've accidentally trashed the entire content of a
partition holding an ongoing project on my TiBook under X.3.2.

I've trashed it and emptied the trash by accident. One or two files
contained data I have no backup of since a about a week, meaning that a
lot of work is lost. I know I'm the culprit, I'm just trying to recover as
much as I can, if there's any chance.

Please CC to my address as I'm on digest
