hi,
a friend came to me with her brandnew macbook.
she'd done something (really) studip, still don't know exactly what, but it made pretty much her whole home-dir dissapear. she asked me to help and see if we could recover some stuff.
trying to mount the drive on my powerbook, the drive was reported as FAT32 formatted..
i haven't got much experience with intel-macs yet, but somethings tells me that the OSX boot partition shouldn't be FAT32.
i couldn't find anything online about osx on a fat32 drive, so i guess i'm right..
still, eventhough it supposedly is a fat32 drive, OSX is booting from it. i'm a bit lost here.
i start to believe the drive is falsly reported as fat32, but can anyone say something sensible about this?
thanks
