- I accidentally erased the root directory on an HFS partition on my hard drive.
- The hard drive does not have a Mac driver on it, though I think an empty
- Apple_Driver partition exists.
-
- Does anyone know of 1>a utility that will write a driver to an already
- formated, partitioned hard drive and/or 2>a utility that will find fully-intact
- files on a hard drive with no root directory.
-
- I can do block reads and writes and am comfortable with a block editor, but I
- have no knowledge of the Mac file system. A crash course in the Mac file system
- is better than nothing if no such utilities exist.
-
- Please respond via email. (I know that can be an annoying request, but I am
- quite backlogged on comp.sys.mac.programmer and read it infrequently.)

- Thanks,
