When you're about to click on "Delete Volume" make sure it's the right hard disk.

I'm no longer useless, I'm dangerous.

you didn't did you? I know I've made that mistake

deleted volumes can be recovered easily... it's just a logical state in the tables. Now if you low formatted afterwards, or created a partition on top of it then copied stuff, that's another story

[sbando]

True, it's the just the state I'm in.

I've never done that.
I have, however, accidentally knocked an external HD over while it was running & not noticed.

500gb mix of Pron, music & movies.... gone.

Luckily I had some of it backed up, but I remember the feeling when I found it & rebooted, only to find it was making a buzzing noise & was no longer accessible....
Feels like when part of your Digestive biscuit falls in to your near full cup of tea: It's ruined & you are powerless to do anything about it !!!!

It's the most frustrating thing ever, isn't it. I've always managed to recover most part of it, the times it has happened.

I can imagine, how you feel. It's like losing a close Friend....i wouldn't want to life anymore without my External HD...
