i just got handy little data recovery application....it is scanning for lost partitions now...and my mother in law swears by this program, and she guarantees me that I will be able to salvage those two outlook files that I need

it has another hour to run though, so wish me luck!

GL, Been there done that a few times over the years...

And the 'Windows Recovery System'

don't count on that piece o' shit working.. It takes your computer back to the time it says but any damage that has been done to your hard drive remains.. For example crucial settings to your browser when you lose all your bookmarks (who hasn't been there?) aren't renewed to the way they were at your last restore point if you restore after the damage has been done..

Damn, this is early .. Earliest I have been up in a long ass time.. Helping a friend lay linoleum whenever he has extra work for $15 an hour and he wants me to help out today and an 6-7 hour job.. How you all get up this time oif the day every day is beyond me.. I even got a good nights sleep

maybe some of us aren't asleep yet

but anyway, i formatted...and that is how I lost everything, so I can't even do a windows recovery

i am still skimming through all the files that this data recovery tool is finding...hundreds of thousands of files

What data recovery software are you using?

As I've got a hard drive I'd like to scan for some old files.
