that sucks... :(
I managed to wipe my fiancee's external HD, including all her pictures of several years along with many documents, the other day..
Well, to be honest, it wasn't me, but rather the recovery program on the CD which cam with my ASUS laptop.
The external HD was connected to one of the USB ports, so the recovery program decided to format it and install some temporary recovery data on it instead..
Of course my fiancee ran out crying, and took a long bike ride.. :(
I tried to use some data recovery programs, but no-one had any luck of finding anything..
So, I guess I'll be sending the disk to a data rescue/recovery company.. I contacted them, and they said it will set me back between 160 and 1150 US$, depending on how much work it is..
oh well.. I'd better just pay up.. :p
the above story was just to show you that you're not alone!! :p hehe
