FORMATTING YOUR DATA DRIVE TO DO A FRESH OS INSTALL, instead of your OS DRIVE?!?!

AARRGGHH!! Now looking for a good NTFS Data Retrieval software package. ARGH!!

I could just bang my head on a brick wall until I wake up from the floor right now.

:: breathe....breathe...::

UDPATE:
Using a program called GetDataBack for NTFS, I was able to recover most of my files!! yay! Most importantly I got back my wwwroot directory under inetpub...PHEW!!

Now I have to deal with all my MP3 files and photo files named something cryptic like, "AA300DF.JPG" and figure out what it is by opening it up first. OH FUN!!!

Highly recommended...Get GetDataBack for NTFS. Worth the $80 price to get back your data.

Windows 7: Excited or could care less?

I saw this posting on Yahoo's site: Windows 7 Almost Final

And it made me think are there that many people out there salivating for it's release the way they were with the release of Windows95? (which I never understood).

But, from what little I've read about Win7, it doesn't look like there's much of a change from Vista to 7. I could be wrong, as I haven't been following the blogosphere on this topic. But, I know for myself, I'm torn.

I liked Vista but after a while, I went back to XP Pro. I'm happy, but I feel that I'm missing out on the "latest and greatest". When XP was released, I too held back from upgrading from Windows 2000. Now that I'm fully adopted into XP, the whole "upgrade" history is starting over.

Aside from you Mac zealots, is anyone looking forward to Windows 7?
