Hi Krinstine and all It's important also to understand the difference between Data Recovery Guru and DiskWarrior. DiskWarrior is a different animal to Data Recovery Guru. DiskWarrior recovers files by looking at the directory structure and recovering files and other documents by placing those files/documents which it recovers in a replacement directory. It does not always work and is, therefore, not always appropriate. Data Recovery Guru, on the other hand, does a total sector by sector scan of your hard drive. Then it presents you with a list of files in its known file types that it can recover.
You will notice that I said "In its known file types". That is because modern day sector-by-sector data recovery utilities do not always recover all files. So you need to select one, or more, data recovery utilities that do different file types. I have used DiskWarrior in the past with great success. But both of these applications have drawbacks. I am working with the developer of Data Recovery Guru to iron out some real problems in terms of accessibility. In the meanwhile, I would not suggest you buy it just at the moment. Wait a little longer.

That's how we used this in the past. Note that this is not the kind of recovery where you deleted and reformatted the drive, and are hoping to get something back out. I don't have an updated version for the latest OS, but the site claims to now support recovery of Fusion drives (on the latest model Macs, with both SSD and conventional hard drives). Haven't used this in a while. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Nov 21, 2012, at 9:42 AM, Gordon Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > It's not cheap.
