The only software I know of for that is called Data Rescue by Prosoft
Engineering and it is not free; it costs around $100. If you intend to
attempt recovery of your files, do not use your iBook and do not install
any software on it; run it of a CD because you might overwrite the area
that holds the deleted data on the disk. You can find Data Rescue easily
enough by googling for it.

I think the demo of this software won't help at all on a Mac:

of course not. you are just another asshole spammer.
you may have a mac version (and it is "Mac" not "MAC"), but you neglect
to explain why your product is any better than the other products that
are available with well known reputations of actually working. not
only is it not an universal binary, but the real kicker is that it
looks like the developer reviewed his own software at versiontracker.
not cool.
and for some perverse reason, i tried the demo, and i must say, this
really is a piece of crap. the preferences menu option doesn't do
anything at all and the main window filled the screen despite the list
area being much smaller. the graphics are non-standard, very non-mac
looking, they redraw with every mouse click and they're ugly.
i ran it on my hard drive and it said no data found, which is rather
amusing because it is a fully functioning hard drive. if it can't find
files on a drive that actually works, how can it recover anything from
one that doesn't work? this matches the comment at versiontracker too.
and to top it off, it is significantly more expensive than exisiting
mac recovery software that is known to work well.
in short, it is garbage. absolute garbage.

What newsgroup do you think you're reading, anyway?
