Thanks Jim! I wouldn't want to dump a lot of money on software to recover
partially written over files. With all my business files gone, I have to
start over from the beginning. The only stuff that was backed up was like
logos, catalogs, and business plans. All the invoices were lost, business
card templates. Man...it'll take 6 months to redo everything. Thanks!
