G'day Rob,

I've had no luck whatsoever to date - I found a few tools, all of which 
managed to report the files currently on the filesystem (fresh partition 
format) but none even came close to looking at the real issue - 
recovering the previous data that existed before the format.  So, any 
help would be good, else I'll ship it off to CBL this afternoon and have 
them take a look.
