Glad it worked out. It's not a happy feeling when you're caught with your pants down; I mean without a recent backup... <vbg>

But, first - thanks Richard for your feedback as well. I actually did try the Ubuntu bootable CD approach. But, after booting with it - I didn't really see anything to help me with the problem. I would look at my C: drive - but, still it showed my Folder (Tools) as missing! And, luckily for me - I do NOT have to go to an expensive Service - as they would not have paid for it here! My QA Tech buddy - he gave me this CD he called "Hiren's BootCD". And, its essentially a bootable Live CD with a "Mini XP" as it says on the CD when I boot it. Needless to say - I don't suggest others use this route (as you can get this CD - or the ISO - readily available on the web). Its obviously cracked SW - since you should not just distribute around a CD with a Mini version of XP. In the end - there was a bunch of tools on the CD - including the Recuvo - that Andrew suggested. I ran one of the utils - and it didn't do Squat. However, I ran another one - which when I ran it - claimed it Needed a license - and that you should NOT run it without a license (gosh - what a joke THAT is - since it let me run it ANYWAY). And, it was this 2nd Util that did the job. I got ALL of my files and the Folder back! So - end of a bad situation that ended on a GOOD note!
