Powerbook G4 Mac Recovery

[jag17]

Hi

I have a Powerbook G4 hard disk with MacOS and with user data. It was accidentally reinstalled with Mac OS using the CD.Now the user has a fresh copy of MacOs and no data in it. All the previous data is no more accessible. I tried recovery using R-Studio but nothing was recovered.

Anybody knows better way of recovering ?

Thanks in advance

Cheers

I don't think R-Studio is for Macs.

Find a program that works with the Mac HFS+ file system.

either way, just out of habit, i would always image the disk first and do your experiments on the second copy. It should be easy to image with any software as the disk probably has no errors.

R-Studio does work for HFS and HFS+ file systems.

And it works on Macs

If you ran a complete scan using R-Studio and it found nothing then you may have to settle for a raw recovery, i.e. recovery by file type without folder structures or filenames.
For this you can use either R-Studio or any other recovery software capable of raw recovery.

Y'all are right. I guess it's just that we don't use it with Macs. Sorry!

For some reason I have gotten better results with the Mac version over the PC version. I don't know why though.
