Hello, My old G4 Sawtooth is being phased out. Been having HD problems for a while. The HD I want to recover files and "stuff" from is a Maxtor 60gig 5400. I had two HDs. The other was a 10g Maxtor 7200. I made the 10g my boot drive and used the larger for storage. The 60 kept getting worse and wo

I returned the drive, since the friend who owns it has another large drive to dump saved files, much more than I do. He also has a much newer Mac. I also gave him a copy of PhotoRec and demo versions of File Salvage and Data Rescue. Now I'm waiting to hear if he got any positive results. He's most

As far as I know, none of the tools I used changed the disk at all. Now that I looked at it and found out what it's for, the companion utility to Testdisk - Photorec - looks more promising for what I'm trying to do. It finds deleted files, rather than deleted partitions. There's a version for Mac,

Testdisk seems more suitable for fixing partition problems, rather than recovering a directory structure lost by formatting.

Data Recovery Part 2

A couple of months ago, I reported trying to recover an external hard drive used on a Mac but formatted as FAT32. I believe it was wiped out by Disk Utility doing a quick format. Recovery attempts under Windows got a lot of files, but barely any were readable. I'd post a continuation on the old th

Re: Data Recovery

The unknown for my situation is - if a Mac throws out the trash on a disk with a FAT32 file system, is it different from how Windows does it, and can it be untrashed under Windows? I'm afraid it might be one of those things that's neither fish nor fowl, that falls between the cracks, and lotsa lu
