Hi, Well, Windows Me, died, I tried to reinstall 98, and it destroyed my partiton table, "Microsoft has just wiped your harddisk, scream now? [Y/N]" Arrrgh! So does anyone know anything other than Nortons utils, that will get my data back? any suggestions? Also, does anyone know if Daz will allow you to re-download the stuff you've bought in the past? I've got most of the install files backed up, but not all of them, I think. later jb
