hi.. i have an old blueberry imac slotloader running os 9... i think i've deleted files on the hard drive and want to run a file recovery utility.. this is likely to be a one off job and i would really like to use a free utility... i have an old copy of norton utilities that i ran on my old lc macs... but its on floppy and i can't install it due to having no drive... anybody got any ideas of a program i could use... i've been searching the web and everything seems to be for osx or later or cost lots ... all help appreciated. paul

well it's been about 8 some odd years that OS X's been on the scene and fining OS 9 Software is nearly impossible now. Your best bet would be your local Craigslist or eBay. Do a search on those to see if you you can track down a copy of some recovery tools. More likely than not those files are gone and your quest is moot, but good luck.
