Default OT: Update on my hard disk disaster. I'm expecting full recovery :-)

or at least 90% recovery :-)

First of all, a zillion thanks to PorTTland for letting me know about the Ontrack EasyRecovery software. I tested the trial version and it found most of my lost files. So I went ahead and bought the full version online and right now it's recovering the data from the %&$# IBM disk. I tested the files already recovered and they work perfectly. Some directories were lost but nothing critical. I'm getting back most of my photos, motoring videoclips and music. Needless to say, I'm a very happy camper!

Thanks again, Craig!

Default Great news!

I still have to get my replacement drive so that I have a destination to write my recovered files. I'm glad that you have proven that Ontrack really works. The trial copy seemed very convincing but there is no substitute for a happy customer testimonial! I can be confident that my $179 will be worth it.

But I do hope this is the only time I need to use this $179 software! ;-)
