Can I recover data from hard disc ?

Aug 17th, 2008

Hello
i'm not very good with this computer stuff.
had problems when i re-installed tiger on my powerbook g4 and erased the hd, losing all my photos and itunes with 6000+ songs on.

does anyone know if it's possible to get these things back, and if so, how ?

regards

chris a

DiskWarrior has a very high reputation in hard drive recovery.

Data Rescue II is also good as well as Filesalvage but it seems that with Mac it is only possible to get the files back, no folders, I have a thread about losing my own iTunes as well.

Time to get a large external hard-drive and use time machine methinks, all too easy to make a mistake when tired.
