Life is like that, you can be carefull all of your life, but the first
time you take a short cut, Murphy nails you!

Finally, if this is all too overwhelming for Roger, if he is by some
chance in Southern California (within a couple of hours drive, give or
take) I'm willing to come to him with a machine, a big spare drive,
and tools to help out in the spirit of been-there-blown-my-head-off.
snip!
Thanks to all who replied on this one. The matter is now resolved from my
point of view; i.e., I've done all I can and Roger needs to do the rest. I
used foremost with the -t all option (recover all known file types) and on
two drives totalling 650 gigs was able to recover about 100K files, mostly
small and mostly useless. But not all, some were very worth recovering and it
is now up to Roger to wade through the recovered files to see what is worth
keeping.
The gent in southern California is only about 32 hours hard driving from the
little town in British Columbia where Roger's computer is, so thanks a lot!
I certainly learned a lot and am happy to have at least some positive results.
Of course now Roger has ordered a big new drive for backup purposes...
