Hope someone can help me with this.

I have a first generation Macbook running Leopard. I believe I have inadvertantly deleted all pictures of my daughter (who just turned one) from 2007. I was transferring files to burn to disk and I think I put them in the trash. Then emptied the trash (ouch.)-- I did not use secure empty.

The good news: I have everything on my NAS as well as in a backup folder on my computer. I wish I could use Time Machine on a NAS, but that's a different issue. Guess Apple wants to push people towards buying Time Capsule...

I am certain that my inlaws or parents have the images on disk, as I have given them copies. In fact, I recovered everything from August on.

The reason I want to undelete that folder is that for whatever reason, when I copied the image files to the wireless drive, the dates get messed up. I'd like to be able to know exactly when each picture was taken. I know that's an option in XP, but I have not seen that in Leopard.

Anyone able to help? For what it's worth, I have not used the computer since I noticed the folder was gone, so I have written to the drive as little as possible, if at all, since it happened.

Thanks in advance.
