  Recovering Data from formatted drive

  Posted by John Murphy on January 21, 2010 at 2:00 am

  I accidentally formatted my gtech 1 terabyte drive. I used the Mac utility and selected 1 partition. I’m using tiger on a G5.
  Can anyone who has successfully recovered data please advise me on a data recovery company. I’m in the Washington DC area and there are many such companies, but I’d like a referral.
  Thanks
  John

  You might try Data Rescue II for Mac. I did the same thing and recovered all the data with great success. All the files were renamed but I was grateful I got them back. DO NOT write anything on your drive until you run the recovery as that could goof up the structure. If you are looking to recover any P2 card data you may be out of luck. The files need to be in a certain place in the folders and it would be almost impossible to recreate this info in all the right places. You may need a recovery company for this. Best of luck
