Permabanned from your files, now thats hardluck.

Lol thx Java - i went and bought a copy of R-Studios recovery util - recovered almost all the files (about 3 missing from 12,000!)

anyways, no time for EQ atm - too busy writing all my files to DVDR!!!

Hows PoP going everyone? My CDs turned up but I still aint had time to play it yet...
Make backups of your personal data - dont rely on external drives alone - make regular backups to reliable media. take it from someone who knows...
