It program worked like a champ. I did use Partition Magic to set up the new portable drive I bought from Alex. I really like the new portable drive. I can now take it with me when I am in Panama City and it is just like having my PC. It just plugs into the USB port and requires no other power. As soon as I am satisfied that I have all the data recovered, I will reformat my second drive and I will use it to keep a backup also. I also pucked up another internal drive and will soon start rebuilding my Linux system. I actually wound up downloading a program from the Internet to recover the lost files.

It toasted MDH's new Toshiba laptop a few years ago. I spend hours fixing it. The Partition Magic support person said sometimes it doesn't work on laptops! I would call with your exact specs before installing it. Maybe you can use the 2nd HD for backup? Be VERY careful with Partition Magic. It toasted MDH’s new Toshiba laptop a few years ago.

I am pretty close to being back up. I just have a large amount of lost data. Thanks Marie. I am pretty close to being back up. I just have a large amount of lost data.

I had a hard drive failure before. So, I know how frustrating it can be. I do wish you the best in this. I had a hard drive failure before. So, I know how frustrating it can be.
