It was a quick format and looks like all my data will be recovered!
My hard drives are with the experts now, I really didn't want to mess with them further! They tell me it is all still there and will be recovered and sent back to me!
Over 110 mud and gunge picture sets, thank god for that!
Many Thanks to everyone for your help and assistance, I will be glad to return to some normality after Monday!

Seems like a lot of good advice.
Maybe two days too late for Leon (assuming windows did not do a quick format - first 200MB last 200Mb), but for anybody else out there working with original material - this guide and utility is probably essential, and definitely FREE.
Leon if you did do the quick format then most of your files may still be on the hard drive.
fingers crossed |

By leonmoomin - leon@mostwet.com Tue 27/06/06 18:10:55 GMT Am doing this tomorrow, have removed the hard drives and am getting them assest by one of Lisa's friends who is a bit of a computer expert!
Unfortunatly, I am the main cause of my own problems, i have a tendancy to panic and in a state of said panic, re-installed windows from manufacturers CDs, which deleted content and formatted disks!
As i said, i think i have it sorted now, now that I have slept on it, I am starting to make all the right moves again!
Warning to everyone in the UK, do NOT buy a Mesh computer system, their 24 hour support and customer service really, really sucks!
Thanks to all for your support!

As someone who has had this happen before with all my pictures on the crashed drive (and very few backed-up), I have a possible solution that may cost only about $100 and 4 hours of your time. Buy a new hard drive and attach it in place of your old hard drive. Reload all of your operating system to the new drive. When complete, attach the crashed hard drive as a slave to the main. This is done by changing a little plug on the back of the hard drive and attaching it to the same cable the Primary hard drive is attached to. Restart your computer and you should be able to acces the files on the crashed hard drive and transfer them to the new drive.
It is an inexpensive, possible solution as it may have only been your operating system that crashed, ie. a file was crupted or damaged. This does not mean that the hard drive was wiped clean. I hope this helps and works as I would hate to hear any pictures have gone to waste! I can't wait to see more previews of your upcoming material. Good luck!

By leonmoomin - leon@mostwet.com Tue 27/06/06 15:49:07 GMT I have had a major PC meltdown!
The funny thing is, I have 2 PCs, both of them went down yesterday! The one I am using now is working again, intermitently!
All data was wiped and I am currently looking into data recovery options, however, e-mails that were received yesterday are gone, I currently have no way to get them, so if your requests were urgent, please resend them and hopefully this PC will remain working for long enough for me to get them!?
2 PCs down in one day is just NOT supposed to happen! GRRRR!
All my sites will remain uneffected by this! Lots of material shot this year has been lost, LOTS of it, however we are still shooting so will have material for sites. As I also said, i am looking into data recovery options now.
Thanks
Leonmoomin
