OSX Lion Accidental Format..

#1 Post by mvnjpy »

Hi, I'm hoping somebody could help me with this.

I accidentally started to erase my hard drive using OSX's Disk Utility (in the Erase tab, I chose Fat32 (I think), and pressed erase).

However, I realized this right away within a few seconds and unplugged my hard drive.

Now, my disk is obviously unreadible, but is it possible to rebuild the partitions somehow?

There was just 1 HFS+, journaled case-sensitive partition taking up the whole disk..

I have another external hard drive, and I'm trying to mimic it's partition table. Help? Any recommendations?
