Ok I have done the 8 step process and have attached the correct files. I not sure if I still have the problem as I am sending this right after I've completed the 8 steps. One other thing, and I'm not sure if this is the right place, I have also lost all info on 1 of my partitions the same time as this problem. I have a duel boot system with XP on c:\ partition, Vista on J:\ partition and had Flight Simulator on I:\ partition which is the partition that I lost. If this is the right forum for this I will explain more, if not could you direct me to the right forum.
Thank you very much
Bob
