The problem is I am not interested in the mounting of the device.
What the user has done is this:
1) Had a working system with all their pictures on it.
2) Put in the Mac OS X setup disk.
3) setup disk formats the system. equivalent of mkfs
4) setup disk installs OS files.
I want to get at the pictures, which means I wish to examine any parts
of the disk that have managed to escape the mkfs and the install of OS
files. So, essentially scan free space.
I am expecting that I will have to write my own recovery program, but
just wanted to check here first.
Kind Regards
James
