If not, see if you can recover them off the hard drive in some way before ashcanning it. I've reformatted because I thought I had all my files on another computer or backed up, and then regretted it later as I forgot a few important files on the messed up partition. :) *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
