BOOTABLE Data Recovery Software?

Hey guys,

I can't believe it, but I rm'd a file I need. Its a Python script I spent 7 hours writing and instead of running rm something else I ran rm on my script.

I shut down my Mac about 2 minutes after I did this (by holding the power button), so I file like there might still be hope for my file.

I got Disk Warrior and run its boot disk, but I only saw an option to rebuild the disk and that didn't yield anything productive.

Are there any good, bootable data recovery solutions? I need something bootable to not increase the chance of my file being overwritten.. Also, I know the exact name, path and some of the contents of my file, so a program that can recover files based on a path input would be amazing.

Thank you!
 
This seems to be the de-facto standard for data recovery on Mac:

You can run this both while booted into OS X, and also as a bootable recovery disk. You may need to order the boxed version and have it shipped to you for the bootable recovery option -- check with the vendor to verify.

Two thumbs up for this piece of software -- I've only ever had to use it once (way back in the day) but it worked miracles.
