It just occurred to me that with all of my data loss this week, some of it may be recoverable. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when a computer "erases" data, it generally isn't really gone until it's overwritten. Is that the case? If so, then my backup drive that was "erased" then started to reinstall when everything crashed might still have some of my files since the backup never got around to writing my user files.
Does anyone think that it may be possible to recover the data from the backup? I know the macbook drive that crashed is gone, but this one may be salvagable, right? Anyone know of any mac software that might facilitate this? Rick
