Since then, I have re-loaded OSX, rearranged hardware (trying to get a CDW running to back up some 'downloaded update files').
Turing all this I did a NO-NO. I inadvertently hit 'initialize' for the partition which DID have OSX installed on it. (One of three partitions on a 80G IDE drive). Now OSX I can reload without that much problem, BUT there were all of my 'E-Mail' filed/history, misc. saved utilities, etc. What I need, is an "Un-Initialize" for the one partition. The other two partitions on that hard drive are fine. I have been carefully NOT doing anything to that drive/partition so that recovery SHOULD be possible.
[The Disk mounts, and all three partitions show up, just the former OSX partition shows as being EMPTY ---- I.E. no files.]
Worst comes to worst, I can fire up a 'WinTel' system and use NORTON Disk Doctor under MSDOS. But that's something that I'm NOt looking forward to doing.
Anybody have a recommendation for OSX, (or even OS9.1, that will handle HFS+ disks), and do recovery of the 'wiped' directory?
