asopaque Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 hi all, I have two firewire drives hooked up to my Mac Server. I was preparing one of the drives to be a backup set, which, essentially 'initializes' the drive. uggggh...to my total dismay, I selected the wrong drive, and followed through with the "are you sure you want to do this?" warning messages without double checking myself. I didn't realize what i had done until i saw the access light blinking on the 'wrong' hard drive, and i stopped the execution about 15 seconds after it started. This was on a 120 gig hard drive, which had about 60 or 70 gigs of valuable information on it. Now, I DO REALIZE that i'm the stupid one here. However, does anyone have any suggestions of how to possibly recover the data that is on there? I have tried using Norton's Unerase feature of Norton Utilities, but no luck. I am just hoping that there might be some way to salvage some of the data since i stopped the initialization procedure so quickly, but I'm not sure if I should get my hopes up. any help is appreciated. thanks in advance. rich atkinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 Hi I replied to your other post but I'll put it here too. You need a drive recovery service as Dantz TS won't be able to help. Also take a look at the "backup to hard disk" tutorial. It will save you this kind of grief in the future. http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=kbase&ACTION=KBASE&id=27501 Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
