Hi everybody,
I had a serious, "Oh [EMAIL PROTECTED]" I'm sure you'll get a good snicker out of it.
Instead of my usual happy Mac in OS 9.2.2 I got a flashing
folder with a question mark, indicating it could not find the OS. So I has to reinstall OS 9.2.2 loosing access to the hard drive contents.
Why? I've never had to format a drive to install a Mac OS on, unless the drive wan't formatted first. This process shouldn't have done anything to your disk contents...
Somewhere I have a techtool pro 3 disk. I think one of its functions is finding lost info like this but I've never tried it for this kind of thing. Any suggestions of things to try to get any of my data back?
Diskwarrior or Data Rescue. Worst case scenario: Drive Savers, but they're expensive.
