Dear Norbert, same happend to me about a few weeks ago - it was an IBM-harddisc like yours. I was very frustrated, because I saved my projects weeks before. So my work, my projects - you must know, I am an architect - were lost for ever. Some projects I have to create again, but I fortunately have papercopies of them, so it is much easier to do this. Many scenes of Vue are also lost - but this is not so dramatic. I think, those things happen to everybody anytime, so, don't worry and start your work again. We are just learning.... regards Irene
