Hi Jonathon

Your computer really did go "belly up" then!

Can't you get the info extracted from your hard drive by a reputable IT support outfit?

I use a small, but very helpful and responsive company called Whitebarn who did the very same for me a couple of years ago.

Go to www.whitebarn.co.uk or phone John King on 01376 563959 and discuss the problem.

You seriously have my sympathy Jonathon.

The real issue is that either the lost info was already in the public domain [in which case it's just a redious task to regain that info]; or, the real problem for you or anyone else - is that it was personalised to your clientele and your way of presenting information etc.

A very clear object lesson to us all and it should also be a graphic lesson to many smaller independants. It's certainly giving me some thoughts about how I retrieve info if things go wrong.

For the benefit of us all, do you know which "worm" and/or software conflicts brought this about?

Hi

I have just got one of those little external hard drives - 40 meg for £50 - about the size of a PDA. I'm not of the technical nature, but with plug n play have managed to put a lot of data onto it as a portable back up. Not bad.

Sorry for the confusion, but still there was sound replies, thanks for those.
