lol all I know justnow that it was £75 jut to look at the disk, remotely, I should find out tomorrow the cost of the recovery

I'm in pain just attempting to empathise. It's so true, there are many, many traumatic things in life that have to be dealt with. And it may seem trivial to others, but unless you've experienced the anguish first hand, you just can't relate.

It's been said before, it'll be said again, but it's just so true, doggy farts really are the worst . . .

Well I now have my stuff back so I am very happy.

Basically it cost £1000 to recovery 37.9Gb worth of Data, and its getting backed up to the server now! :P
