Can you recover lost data in 10.4.11?

Can I somehow go backwards and retrieve this data?

No functionality to do so is included with the OS, but programs such as FileSalvage may allow recovery. Don't write anything else to the affected drive until you're done.

As mentioned, It may be possible to recover some erased ones, but you must quit using the Computer immediately, because the OS will think it can write to those freed blocks on the disk.

Either boot this one in Target mode...
