          And didn't even try to restore them?? I do not believe they all got destroyed in a minute. I would try some recovery software like Undelete or sth.

            I'm doing that just now. Takes time though with the sheer volume of information.

                That's never happened to me, and yet, any windows bug that exists, I get hit by.

                A vital part of the M$ source codes:

                if (user == "CG"){
                BugGenerator.Start();
                }

                  How does one legally have 350 GB of movies and music ? If it's legal, surely you had a backup ?

                  Not music, but I probably have more than that in personal family videos and pictures (mostly of Rohan though) :-) And it's all backed up in triplicate!

                    I gave you a 5. It amuses me that if you post in this forum with a specific explanation of how a Microsoft product has a specific, reproducable bug, or how it has in your instance destroyed all your data, you get 1 votes.

                    Because it's pretty clear that it wasn't Microsoft's fault. He had a hardware failure that preceded upgrading to Windows 7 and which was corrupting his hard drive. Had he run the check under Vista, he would have lost the data then, instead of later.
