hi Alan
i have it all on my external , when the guy from Comet came , i had unplugged my external , and sort of moved over to let him in to my pc as it was an opticle drive he was replacing ,and when i had a new hard drive replaced after a few weeks , they had to put on new windows , when they done this , the replaced it with XP , so when i needed the new opticle drive , they wouldnt replace it as they said i had tampered with the pc as my pc should be Vista , so my warrenty wouldnt cover any of it , so after a fight with head office and copies of repairs they decided yes they had replaced my windows Vista with XP , so when this guy came , and he was putting my keyboard and mouse back on didnt he put the usb connection into the slots , and he wiped the lot , i wasnt in the room , so this is how it happened , after me telling the guy this was my external , i should have moved it away , but didnt think he would touch it , lesson learnt , just trying to get into SP now as the password has just came , lets hope i can find the ones i want this time ,
isnt not been a cheap hobby this
