I would like to ask for suggestions on un-erasing a disk partition. I accidentally clicked ERASE rather than CANCEL while in ERASE DISK... (D'oh!) I've made a point to NOT do anything that would write data to that partition. Is there a D/L utility somewhere that might fix this? Otherwise, what would be the best chose in purchasing a disk utility? Thanks, Mike (Just call me Homer)

I can say with about 99% certainty that nothing you do is going to bring back that data. TechTool Pro or Norton Utilities *might* be able to recover *some* of it, but the likelihood of doing so without having them installed *before* the mishap is very very slim. p

Ah, but, I thought ALL erase did was wipe the directory structure? Since this is a non-system disk (partition) shouldn't something like TechTools or Norton be able to recover the directory (and therefore the data)? Mike

Mike, you are correct, erasing the disk does wipe the directory structure. Now, try getting a file without *any* information as to where files are located, what there names are, how large they are, etc... Pickle is right, there is no commercial product that will retrieve your data, including Norton, TechTool, etc. Perhaps a company such as DriveSavers could charge you big dollars to recover files without type/creator info, file extensions, or even names. There are low-level recovery methods that can do such a thing. Well, they could probably recover some directory information to get some files nicely.
