Fortunately I had everything backed up on CDs, 84 of them to be exact. I replaced the hard drive with a new internal drive, bought an external drive and still have the CDs and DVDs with backup files. Main hard drive has a folder called "Designs" included in this folder are subfolders "Customer files" "My files" "Designs by catagory" "Designs by company", the external drive has an exact copy of the same data. When I went through the first hard drive failure it took almost two weeks to restore all those files, not something I really want to every have to do again. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
