Pleae help: Lion recovery erased my hd!!!!!

[DewGuy1999]

Sorry to continue the thread 2 years later. Just've found @zjazz's post in " Pleae help: Lion recovery erased my hd!!!!! " (Aug 9, 2011, 05:45 PM).

Wondering if @zjazz find the solution ? I've got the the *very* same frustrated issue and am trying to fix it.

iPartition demo 3.43 & StellarPhoenixMacDataRecovery 6.00 knows the "Recovery HD". I bought StellarPhoenixMacDataRecovery but it doesn't help. Data Rescue 3.23 doesn't even know there's such a partition.

If iPartion would do the job, I'd definitely pay. Any other partition recovery app recommended please?

I'm a doc filmmaker and I'm afraid that I might lose 2TB location DSLR mov footage forever. Pls help, thank you very much.

I'm unclear as to what exactly you are trying to do, but, if it is "see" all the partitions on a hard drive (including hidden ones) this article may help:

So you ran recovery on your HD that had your personal files? Or you planning to run recovery on HD that has your files? If you plan then stop doing it and get another HD for that because it will erase EVERYTHING from you HD!!!! Use separate HD!!! Hope this helps because any of partition programs mentioned above will not recover erased data!
