[Frameworks] data recovery help

[Jay Hudson]

Scott's advice is very good.  Do not do anything.  When you delete a 
file on a disk, you are only deleting items in the table that tell the 
drive where to find the file.  The underlying data is untouched, until 
it is written over.  I would recommend looking up undelete programs.  If 
you have a mac, your filesystem is hfs+, pc is ntfs, and linux is 
variable often efs, and others.  One thing you can do is a block copy of 
the disk.  On mac there is Carbon Copy Cloner, which can make a disk 
image.  On mac and linux, there is a command line tool called dd.

But Scott is right, check with the digitizers first.  You might want to 
call a repair shop and see if they can do a recovery cheap, depending on 
how well you are with computers.

Last thing, don't ever that again!

Best of luck!
