Remember seeing an article not long ago where someome accidentally
formated an external drive and guess who just did the same.
I've looked for the article but its expired.
I remember someone suggesting trying "recover my files" but what can I
do to recover them myself?
Or can you advise how to get to archives.

Al

A Jap would at least have the decency to disembowel itself.

Its much safer to use something that is designed to reverse a format.

I like Easy Recovery Pro myself, but it isnt cheap if you have to pay for it.

When u think u are formating a verbatim DVD RW and you look down and
you've just formatted the Verbatim external drive instead.
