I recently converted my external HD from PC settings (FAT 32, I think) to be more Mac-friendly (OS Journaled). Everything went fine until I realized a few random folders had missing MP3s post-transition. Is there any way to recover these?

If you reformatted your drive, all the data on there would have been deleted?

Actually, I transferred it all over prior to my MacBook before the reformat. What's weird is most everything else transferred fine -- the folder structure and album artwork, but the MP3s disappeared. Oh well, I guess it'd be impossible to recover now.
