hey...

I'm sure there is a way to retrieve it these days.

may be expensive - depends on how bad you want it back

There are several utilities some freeware that will recover the files. I haven't had the misfortune to require them so can't recommend anything but a search will bring up plently of options.

You won't miss it and in a couple of weeks you'll wonder why you didn't free up all that space long ago. Live for the future.

If you buy the latest PC user mag you will get a couple of free toold to do data recovery with....I baught it the other day and it seems pretty good

A very bad coincedence, I turned my computer on today and it said it had recovered from a fault. All programs not associated with windows XP have either been deleted or are now not able to be opened . Lucky I have all photos on disc.

What evil porn sites have you been lookig at Mr Musty.

Thanks for the tip. I'm a Project Manager for a software developer during the day and forever telling customers to back up.

Just sheepishly backed up all my photos and documents for the first time in about 18 months.

Cheers,

and you call Wolfie a w@nker.....
