Hi all, This is my first post here and I hope it might be of help. First of all let me say how happy I am that Bâshrat the Sneaky recovered his work!!! I have experienced many similar situations in my job's enviroment and believe me I know that Bâshrat the Sneaky meant when he said he was frustrated. In time I have used many of the mentioned tools for recovery (and many others not mentioned here) but the only tool that I've found to be the most efficient and trustworthy for years now, is Ontrack EasyRecovery Pro (don't remember links, do a google search). The latest achivement was a FULL recovery of two 140Gb HDs a week ago with 99.999% success - We lost three files (unimportant thou). It might be a bit "slow" (it took almost an hour for every disk) but the results worth waiting. You might keep that in mind for your arsenal for any next "rainy" day. Regards, Alextrek
