I'm really sorry with you, BenDover! We all know how big work is making terrains. Can you show your hard disk to some specialist, they can nowdays do unbeliavable repairings... :(

CD Burners make excellent backup devices and they cost less then $100 on average now.

Dear Santa,
For this christmas I'd like a new HD, but not a fujitsu, cos my last one was a fujitsu, and now its as dead as the parrot in the monty pyphon sketch...
