Un-erase SDII files? Biggest "oops" ever....

firth5 · Post by **firth5** » Sun Nov 05, 2006 12:38 pm

Long, idiotic story short: I recorded a live show last night to 20 tracks on a Mac using DP, then accidently deleted it, then hit "empty trash".

I have not touched the hard drive in any way since, so the data is theoretically there.

I downloaded an excellent program called "File Salvage," which recovers this kind of lost data, but unfortunately does not recover SDII files. (It can find and reassemble .wav, .aif, .mp3, etc., but not SDII.)

So, PLEASE HELP.

Any guru out there have any thoughts on my next step? Do you know of a program that "un-erases" SDII files? Is there a different way to go about this? rebuild the HD or something?

Thanks,
eric

This is just a shot in the dark, but there are several file recovery apps around. Why don't you try another one? Does Norton still make UnErase?

Maybe somebody who knows their way around the Terminal can suggest something.

Yup, I've tried a few of the recovery programs, but none of them support SDII "un-erase." Still lookin', still hopin'.....
