If you like, send the Hdd up to me and I'll clone it and send it back same day, and work from the clone.

I feel your pain, so the cost won't be an arm and a leg!

Thanks so much that would be greatly appreciated. I spoke to my wife last night and she's calmed down now, she would like to see if the data can be recovered so I'll go to your website and get the details to send the hd over to you.

Good Luck, I wish you well
