Peter,
     I was attempting to setup a dual XP-Linux system. Some how when I=20
choose the partition for Linux I erased my Apps drive. I tried to=20
recover the missing files and they are totally gone. So when I=20
reinstalled XP I over wrote my email file and backups. At least that is=20
what I believe I did. It has not been a very good week.
     I didn't lose any of my actual important files but I did lose most=20
of my emails going back some 15 years and I lost all of my emails from=20
the last 2 years. I even did a complete sector by sector search and they=20
just are not there. It took 30 hours to do the sector scan on just one=20
drive. Not fun. One reason that this happened is that my fibromyalgia=20
has started interferring with my memory and thinking processes.
Thanks,
rich!
