[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1427346, member: 46727"] In my humble opinion, using FAT-32 to store valuable data is playing with fire. As stated, FAT-32 is a non journaling file system which means it has a difficult time keeping track of what is where and is generally more susceptible to file loss and corruption. Use either HFS+ or NTFS both of which are journaling file systems. As for Data Rescue 3, it's the best but there is no guaranty that after spending the 60 bucks it'll be able to find your missing files. [/QUOTE]
