Now if I do this, can I recover some of the stuff that was there? What can I do to increase my chances?
And no, (stupid again on my part) there was no filesaver type software on that drive...
A: DON'T initialize your disk--it will wipe it clean.
As Mikael says: use these other programs--I like diskwarrior. He is also right about Norton--save it to the last--or don't use it at all. Don't overwrite anything on the disk until you have all you want back. (diskwarrior will tell you what it will give you back and you can elect to have it recover to the original disk--if it gets it all--or if it only recovers a bit--please write it to another disk.
It is a GOOD THING you don't have any "filesaver" type software on your disk. Most of that stuff makes things worse.
