I just deleted my VPC 5.04 Windows 98 drive. I was in OS 10.2.6 checking the drive for operation which was suppose to be on a external firewire drive. I had spent the last two days installing Win 98, VPC 5.04 and upgrading Windows 98 from MS. I created a VPC disk image on OS X and then copied it to Firewire drive with OS 9.2.2. The drive name was Windows_98 and I retained the same name on both drives WRONG thing to do. I booted the Firewire Drive in its OS 9.2.2 and created all the updates and installation that I wanted, but apparently this was done of the OS X drive and did not realize it.
After getting every thing working great on the OS 9 I booted in OS X to check performance. I checked the VPC settings window for VPC machine and showed drive on the Firewire drive but when I started and it loaded the drive was lacking all the programs that I had installed. So I figured It had went to the drive image on OS X. So I deleted it... Wrong image. For some reason VPC start-up dialog box showed it on the Firewire drive whether I was in OS X or OS 9.
I have Norton System works 2.0 and tried a recover while in OS 9 of the firewire drive could not find it in OS X trash. So I booted to OS X and tried it but could not get any images of the CPU's hard drives to select.
Does the list have any words of suggestions how to recover this deleted file? It was put into the OS X trash and I have not written anything to the disk since this happen.
Thanks for any help
