September 6, 2005 at 8:57 pmYou can try this: https://www.subrosasoft.com/thestore/default.php but deleted OS X files are not like deleted OS 9 files. OS X writes over your deleted file immediately making recovery very difficult. Generally, if you don’t have a file recovery application installed before you delete your files, you won’t be getting them back. So your recovery chances are probably pretty poor and may not be possible without sending your drive to someone like DriveSavers (expensive).
Let us know if you do manage to recover your files (or don’t). It’s very helpful for us to have first hand accounts of the how these recovery applications are working.
