no ones fault but my own

cut off my fingers

sweet. i can’t even blame hardware for this one, it was one foul keystroke of my own and before i could cancel my action, ~160 GB of video archive was out the window.

DataRescueII is in the process of restoring whatever it can salvage, which only appears to be ~10% of what was lost.

needless to say, I’m really pretty mad at myself and my irresponsible fingers.

any reliable data recovery packages hanging around for OS X that someone can recommend? that’d be sweet.

follow up (4 hours later): Data Rescue II worked surprisingly well. Of course, it didnt bring back everything, but it did manage to bring back 20 full length movies, and a handful of episodes of “Dinosaurs”.

That said…it brought back some stuff that I’ve never seen before. Unfortunately nothing TOO interesting, albeit, kinda weird.

Check this one out:

That’s right, various “swallows”. Totally work safe, too.

I havent watched all of them, but all told, there’s about 10-15 minutes of THAT, that came off my hard drive. data recovery software couldnt bring back season 1-5 of scrubs though, could it :-( .
