	Hello all, I accidentally erased both partitions of an external HDD, instead of just one. D'oh. There wasn't anything major on the second partition, but still, there is some stuff that I wouldn't mind recovering. I tried Data Rescue II, but the problem was that it's hard to distinguish what most of the files are (well, that, and the fact that it's giving me at least 1TB of data to restore to a 750GB drive). Does anyone know of any drive recovery software which would be able to show the files as they were in their original directories before I was stupid enough to erase them? Thanks in advance. ^^
