Hmm... if no commercial solutions are there you might try to hunt down information on the underlying BSD layer. But I fear OSX uses hfs -- and then you won't find much in the open source community of BSD/Linux. There are programs like http://recover.sourceforge.net/linux/recover/ to recover files on Linux ext2 file system so these are not widely known. I was rather surprised that they exist at all. they also suggest the "unix way" of recovering a file. http://recover.sourceforge.net/unix/ I assume the OSX shell has the basic commandline tools like grep. For 'text' your client would have to figure out the first bytes of the image format he deleted and then try to figure out which blocks belong to which picture by knowing the filesystem structure, i.e. pointers to next block/inode/"whatever OSX calls that". > Asking the client to cease using his computer is not exactly feasible. > It is necessary for 90% of what he does, especially if he is going to > have to redo what he needs before his deadline. Definitely a bad idea to continue using the drive in write mode. I would say he has to set priorities there -- get the images back and keeping that deadline or get the pics somewhere else again and use the computer in the meantime. If he fills the partition up once the problem of recovering the files is gone for ever. K.-H. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
