A nice replica Steve :) I think this is related with your other "file is in use" message. I wouldn't believe I lost everything till I discover that I cannot recover them by low level means. Generally you cannot recover anyhthing but once I recovered 90%+ of data what I thought to be gone forever. Norton Utilities sometimes prove to be very valuable in such cases. Hope you can recover too. Good luck.
