After doing HUGE text search passes on my entire drive i have finnally gotten about 5000 files that are more what i am looking for. I've then taken those files and done more specific searches on them to piece together the project. Its only taken me a few hours, but i've recovered weeks of work and pieced it back together. Norton was worth the $100. now i just need to build a backup system that will protect me from this shit.

Buy a new drive and bury the dinosaur.

Yup its already gone. I've saved it just in case i need to pull something from the old drive, but i've already got a 20GB in its place.

I'm glad I backed up the data that was on an external 9GB hard drive before it shat all over itself. Glad to see you're back up and running.

You can get real drives now adays ya know. 20 Gig drives are disposable anymore. I've got 180 in my PC and 160 in my G4 :-)

Yup, when i got my last 120GB i pulled out the 20GB and put it in a static bag. Its been sitting around for a couple months now. So i figure i've got 160GB in that computer already, I might as well just pop the 20GB in there for the primary OS. Then at least i can have two drives for redundant backups. My other computers have been upgraded to HUGE drives as well. The way things usually go around my office is... I upgrade my 3 primary workstations. (G4 OSX, G4 OS9, Win 2K) and everything that comes out of those systems gets handed down to the G3 OSX box.
