Greetings everyone...
I am yet another uneducated Windows user switched to MAC... FINALLY!!
(Especially after I learned OSX is programmed over UNIX!)
Here's my issue below:
I have a shared SD card on a Windows XP machine. I accessed the card via my wireless network from my Macbook. I meant to move a folder named "Palm" from the SD drive's root directory to a Folder listed on the Doc of my Macbook, but mistakenly dropped the "Palm" folder over the trash icon. While in complete "idiot" mode, I clicked on the delete button when it asked for confirmation. I did not worry too much about canceling while it was deleting the folder because I thought I could just recover it from the Trash folder on my Macbook. Unfortunately, after it finished deleting, it does not appear in my Trash folder. I did not know if you delete a file over the network (on a PC) using a MAC that the deleted files or folder are not recoverable or at least don't appear in my Trash. Where did this folder go, and is it still recoverable??
The SD card is intact and has not been used since this, only viewed by the Windows XP operating system of the PC where the SD card resides and my Macbook over the wireless network. What can I do here?? Is there a directory where this folder is hiding?? I am somewhat UNIX savvy, is there some command(s) I can use to recover it manually??
Thanks,
Willy
