Who is a happy girl then? Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Got a phone call from the "usual" computer guru, asking how I was getting on with the new box of nuts & bolts. I told him I was looking through files... and boxes and boxes of papers, to replace all my genealogy.... he came over the next day, plugged in the "fried" old hard drive, did some magic tricks (they go waaaaay to fast for me to keep track) and..... there it was!
I should have known the "new" guy was a plonker when I asked him to look for Word documents beginning with "descendants of" and he typed decendents.
Reminds me - genealogists never die - they just lose their census..... now who said that?
And I've got a cd in the fire-proof safe!

Guess what I got on the front of my September issue of Computer Shopper?
The full personal edition of O & O DiskRecovery . They reckon it can recover over 300 file types - and it was FREE !
I'm going to try it out on my lappy (which is about to be totally wiped as it has become so cluttered with stuff even I can't remember why or when I installed them).
Panic not folks I have backed it up even though everything valuable is on my desktop anyway.
I'll let you know how it goes.

That's brilliant
Maybe you should have filmed him with one of those slomo cameras so you could do it yourself - for some other anguished genealogist of course!!
Heaven forbid that it should happen again to you.
Glad you have the safe back-ups though.
Going into teacher mode "Just don't let it happen again!"
You're right Lesley. We need an 'exasperated' emoticon
Never put off till tonight what you should have done last night
