Thank you for your fast reply, Limnos!  I'm still using Tiger.  I just wanted to know about data recovery before something bad happens while using OS X 10.4 Tiger.

    I forget what is the largest disk size for Tiger. I have a 1terabyte external firewire drive.  I think it is over 2t.

     

    You need an external Firewire drive to boot a PowerPC Mac computer [ a few G5's will boot from USB ]. 

     

    I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.

     

    I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.

      

    I'd give OWC a call. 1-815-338-8685.

     

    FireWire 800 + USB 3, + eSATA

    &

    save a little money interface:

    FireWire 400 + USB 2.0

    This web page lists both external harddrive types. You may need to scroll to the right to see both.

    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB

     

     

         (2) FireWire 800/400 Ports (Up to 100MB/s / 50MB/s)

         (1) USB 3.0 Port (Up to 500MB/s / 60MB/s)

         (1) eSATA Port (Up to 300MB/s)

    Has a combo firewire 800/400 port.  Not sure what this is.  Looks like you will  need 400 cable.

    Time Machine would only help you in the future. Is your Mac set up with Time Machine? If so you should be able to get the deleted files that way. Click the Time Machine icon in the dock. Then go back to before you deleted the files, they are probably still available.

    If you don't have a Time Machine backup yet, Here is a list of best data recovery softwares that I have found:

    1. uFlysoft
    2.  Recuva
    3. Disk Drill
    4. Glary Undelete
    5. Panda Recovery
    6. SoftPerfect File Recovery
    7. EaseUs Data Recovery Software
