moylannever lost data?09:29
czajkowskioh  yeah09:30
czajkowskimy external HD with stuff backed on it was corrupt09:30
moylanthe thing is about 12 years ago i did the exact same thing and wiped my only backup during an install.  i finally tracked the company who made the software that unformatted the drive and got me back the data but they sold out to symantec back in 2004 or so.  so no more unformat software from them.09:31
