I, personally, would not trust the re-built system. Too much chance it would look like it was working but be dumping something important down a black hole or ten somewhere I'm not watching. I would try to get the most important of the data and settings back. (A link useful for this kind of thing has been mentioned, there are others if you search.) I might even get a new drive so I could keep the botched drive around for a while in case there was something important I'd forgotten. Other than that, I'd just rebuild the system from scratch. -- Joel Rees <rees@xxxxxxxxxxx> digitcom, inc. 株式会社デジコム Kobe, Japan +81-78-672-8800 ** <http://www.ddcom.co.jp> **
