OT: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.

Andre, here's another tip I ran across:

The Unix program dd is a disk copying util that you can use at the 
command line in order to make a disk image. It makes a bit-by-bit 
copy of the drive it's copying, caring nothing about filesystem type, 
files, or anything else. It's a great way to workaround the need for 
Norton Ghost.

also when you get the drive hooked up to another machine use Data 
Rescue II FIRST to gather as much stuff from your drive as possible, 
even with a crashed TOC....

this does the magic that Norton used to do years ago. It worked for me.
