I would phrase it in somewhat harsher terms: F**K NORTON UTILITIES!! GOUGE OUT ITS EYEBALLS AND SKULLF**K NORTON UTILITIES!! Ahem... Please pardon the outburst. EPILOGUE: Upon receiving an additional 120GB of storage this morning, I was able to launch a full-scale recovery on the brain-dead drive, utilizing both DiskWarrior's "Scavenge" option and Data Rescue X running in "Thorough Scan" mode. Two hours later I had retrieved 90% of the files INTACT and functional, including all of the files with which I support my extravagant lifestyle. In case anyone was wondering, the files involved were MASTER LISTS of all real estate currently handled by a certain GIGANTIC brokerage in North & South Carolina. The destruction of these lists could have spelled much worse disaster than the mere loss of my job. Chaos would reign, virtue would be driven from the land, purple monkeys would fly out of many asses. The failed hard-drive was, originally, a backup volume...but, of course, over time it had devolved into a storage Vault of current materials with no additional backup. My bad. Anyway, my profound thanks go out to everyone who assisted in this recovery effort---and major hats off to Data Rescue X and Disk Warrior, without which, well, I shudder to think.
