Ouch. But surely a better Disk Utility Tool would help reduce that. It's unlikely that the files are gone; especially if the computer was working last night. GParted seems to be a basic Disk Utility program, not a Disk Repair program. Here is a list of some that might help: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10-things/10-linux-rescue-tools-for-recovering-linux-windows-or-mac-machines/ > I was naive enough to think that backing up data onto other hard drives > within the same computer was safe. As above; it's more like that the catalog files and the 'structure' that points to all the 1 and 0's has been mangled but the actual files are still in their location and with a good Repair program can be retrieved - saving you well over a weeks worth of time. > I was unaware that there was malware for Linux :( > That has to be the quote of the Decade. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
