[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1042856, member: 24160"] It would overwrite if the drive was not formatted as HFS when it started the operation and had to format first. If it was already formatted as HFS and ready to be used by Time Machine, it should not have overwritten any of the existing data. 1st - stop using the drive immediately - do not write data to the drive... Have never had to use any of this software... The two I would probably check out are: [url=http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php]Computer Data Recovery, Mac Data Recovery Software, Mac Data Rescue, Digital Data Recovery Disk for Mac - Data Rescue 3[/url] - read the info provided there and [url=http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/]Mac Recovery Software-Recover Mac Drive-Apple Mac Data Recovery-Data Recovery Mac[/url] - has a free download which will show you what it can recover prior to purchase. If her stuff is that important and/or new data has already been written to it on top of being formatted, it could be time to employ the professionals at great expense and no guarantees. [/QUOTE]
