[olug] [Gnmug] Please help for data recovery from a mac external drive! (fwd)

Yes, testdisk would be my personal first try, the one other that I've had consistently good luck with is R-Studio, which is an investment but you may find it very useful as time goes on..

 I ran the Harry Potter books through a spell checker; none of those spells should work.

Try "testdisk".  I'm not sure if it's installed on OSX by default but
it can be downloaded at http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk.  I've
been able to mend some pretty bad things with this tool.
