13. Yeah, I'm aware of the situation in that last sentence. Not average user stuff.

One post on a Web site dealing with a similar query suggested that this is a job for pros. Unfortunately, that means $$$, and since this is all-nonprofit stuff, that's out of the question.

I wish I had known what tools it would have been nice to have on hand beforehand, but since that doesn't come with the OS, and it's not common knowledge ... there's just no equivalent to Norton Utilities for Linux, or I would have bought it. Long in the past, I recovered numerous files with the old NUM under the old Mac OS. With OSX, I've gotten "Disk Tools cannot repair this disk" three times, and there's nowhere to go from there. (Norton System Tools for Macintosh fell behind the times, AFAICT).
