Recovery on two levels
Oy... I just went from having a pc to a mac...and lost some photos in the process...My old computer was turned into a external harddrive from which i thought i had successfully transferred all the data from, turns out i missed two albums and only noticed this after i had already formatted the external harddrive using mac os extended (journaled) i am wondering if i could reacces those old files that i have deleted to save my pics

also, i went to a muse concert recently and one of the videos didnt transfer correctly from my camera

unfortunately i deleted the files off my camera, i havent used it since but i know the video is still there but i dont know how i can recover it

please help!
thanks a lot

I have used Data Rescue II from http://www.prosofteng.com/ to recover a hard drive that had it's File Table screwed. Because of that it did not recognise the file completely (because of how data is stored) but the recovery rate for that drive was about 85% out of 10,000 files (all jpgs... took me a month to check ) Now I don't know if formatting from FAT/NTFS to Mac OS Journaled goes by taking out the partition table, so it may work (demo is available). But if you also used the Write Zeros option when erasing the drive, then you will not be able to retrieve the files.
