And since new 10.5.1 data was written over the failed 10.6 install, the likelihood of getting Drive Savers to get anything back was slim and very expensive.</div><div><br></div><div>Moving forward :</div><div><br></div><div>1. We installed 10.6 over the newly created 10.5.1 and began anew !</div><div><br></div><div>2. A blessing was cast upon us when they remembered that they had photos and music on an iPod Touch !!!!! We got 2375 songs back back with Senuti ( $18 utility ) . That was a great moment amidst all other bad news. Photos did not transfer over ... the Apple Store will look into this with them.</div><div><br></div><div>3. Time Machine 1TB drive was installed !</div><div><br></div><div>4. Office 2008 was installed and updated to 12.2.1</div><div><br></div><div>5. iLife '09 was installed an fully patched.</div><div><br></div><div>6.
