Eeew! Like those UI's you get that still look like 16 bit Windows 3. :~
Visual SourceSafe 2005, anyone? They added resizable dialogs (finally) that start out sized as Windows 3.1 style :rolleyes:.

Apples come with a one button mouse, but they support two. For some retarded reason, the default setup has right click do the same as left, but once you change it, it's all good.

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.

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.
