Hi, Ricardo only arrived here and apparentlym, his parents crashed his computer in Portugal. The disk was 80GB and is now shows up as 31GB disk. It's a FAT formatted disk. With some unknown recovery tool he tried to get his files back. It works for most, but sometimes he simply get rubbish back. That's all he told me. Any ideas on how to get the data back? -Kenny -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau@psb.ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ==================================================================
