[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1390793, member: 45350"] Some other basic info I probably should have covered first. 1) Some or all of your data (photos) may not be recoverable, depending how what has been overwritten. Still, I have had reasonable success 2) You could pay someone to do it for you, but data recovery services aren't cheap 3) Best plan IMO is to pull your old HD and swap in a new drive for your iMac (good opportunity to increase your storage space). You'll do a format and OS install, then install your Data Recovery APP on your new HD. 4) Your old HD goes into an external drive case so you can access it for data recovery [/QUOTE]
