[11:04] <infoturtle> mornin all
[11:05] <infoturtle> are we not having an IRC meeting tomorrow?
[20:51] <moylan> hi airurando
[20:53] <airurando> hey moylan
[20:53] <moylan> still looking for the software. haven't given up on you.
[20:54] <airurando> moylan I truly appreciate it
[20:54] <moylan> no worries.  this sort of things happens to all of us.  i like to be prepared for when it next happens to me
[20:55] <airurando> having you to talk to the other night to first figure out what I'd done and then to be told of the the slim chance of recovery meant alot
[20:56] <moylan> i found the company who supplied the software when it happened to me about 12 years ago.  they sold out to symantec in 2004 or thereabouts.  and they killed it off.  so i have to find someone else i trust.
[20:58] <airurando> a friend at work recommended http://www.easeus.com/
[20:58] <airurando> said he used it once and it saved him
[20:58] <airurando> what do you think
[21:00] <moylan> that looks like the real deal.  most searches i found was bogus software.  that looks ok.  proper unformat option which is what is needed to try and rescue your data.
[21:01] <moylan> also it specifically mentions vista which did strange things to ntfs
[21:02] <moylan> i'd say give it a shot
[21:02] <airurando> will I start with the downloadable demo?
[21:02] <moylan> can't hurt.  just make sure it doesn't write to the external usb drive
[21:03] <airurando> will do
[21:03] <airurando> I'm knackered after work so I'll give it a go tomorrow.
[21:03] <moylan> if you want me to hang around that's cool or if you want to do it some other time let me know as i'm keen to hear if it works
[21:04] <airurando> I'll let you know how I get on
[21:04] <airurando> you going to be at the meeting tomorrow night?
[21:04] <moylan> whch meeting?
[21:04] <airurando> monthly IRC
[21:04] <moylan> irc should be ok with me.
[21:05] <airurando> coolio
[21:05] <moylan> playing with a samsung galaxy tab 7 at the mo.  great fun!
[21:06] <airurando> nice
[21:08] <moylan> for me at least better than the ipad.  not perfect though.
