[QUOTE="nation4, post: 635106, member: 53044"] Thank you all for your helpful comments!! I Really appreciate your insight. I was able to fix the problem this weekend! Here's what I did. I booted my computer from the OSX CD as instructed above. Created a root account and rebooted the computer. Once I gained access to the root account, I was able to install a shareware software from MAC called (Something Disk Sweep, I'll give you guys the name when I go back home tonight). The software swept the entire hard drive and found the deleted Image file. i was able to double click on the file, provided my Filevault Password and installed the image file as an external drive on the root account. I almost cried when I saw all my old data!!! Let me know if you have issues with this process, perhaps I can provide some help with my limited MAC knowledge. Again thank you all for your help. NF.
