recover them.

Try Nortons or any other file checking utility on them.  You really 
have nothing to lose as there seems to be nothing there now.

Sounds good; but there is something there.  I can see the icons and labels, 
and some of the text files *did* copy.  
It's just frustrating that Apple changed its OS to X and so many nice 
features got dumped while they were adding the new features.  Personally, a stable, 
multitasking platform that looked like OS 9 with maybe a few new features would 
have suited me fine.
