How to Reconstruct File Directory After Wiping Partition
So last night I was doing some clean-up on my hard drive and decided to erase one partition that I use for back-ups. A few clicks later I realize that Disk Utility has completely wiped the whole drive instead of just the single partition I was working on.
The horror.
Normally, this would be a massive catastrophe, but I had just burned to DVD all of my important files, and I have two hard drives so I was able boot off of the other drive and restore my OS 9 partition from the DVD very easily.
So here is the question: I know that the files still exist on the Jaguar partition, just the file directory was destroyed. I haven't written a single file to that partition since my blunder. How can I restore the file directory to it's former state? What software tools do I need/should I use?
Needless to say, I'm looking to do more that just recover the files, I'm hoping that there is some way to recover the file hierarchy so that I don't have to reinstall Jaguar.
Any thoughts out there?
Much thanks
