[MacDV] HELLLP..undelete trash???

[Robert Finlay]

Silly question but are items still in the trash? If so just drag them  
out. Otherwise try Googling "data rescue mac" or "data recovery mac"  
as a starting point. Several possibilities show up. Don't do anything  
with the computer in question until you have a solution in hand as any  
disk activity will overwrite your trashed data. Had this happen once  
to an SD card I accidentally formatted before downloading the photos  
and a program called Photorecovery did the trick so there is hope.  
Might be good to keep such software around for the next time. Also,  
you may want to post your question to Mac-l, An Internet discussion  
group about the Macintosh, email: join-mac-l at hades.listmoms.net. Lots  
of folks with more experience than me there.

Good luck
Bob
