I was copying a folder to my external drive (which has journaling enabled), and the drive had the same name folder on it. It asked if i wanted to replace and i thought it would just copy the new files to the folder, but instead it completely delete the folder, and added the one i was copying.

i lost some files that i really want to keep, what can I do to restore them?

I think TechTool has a file recovery feature.

I tried Data Rescue X

i did a thorough scan, and it took about an hour or two, said that it couldn't calibrate the block size asked me to do it manually..

i found the files in the list, tried to recover,but the files were all 0kb
