Mr. Ravi, Though I cannot assure you results (as you say you have formatted your machine), but you could try System Rescue CD (http://www.sysresccd.org/SystemRescueCd_Homepage)  It has saved my neck plenty of times. I recommend you go through its manual thoroughly before trying it. -- Regards, Dimple Patel, Ph.D., Assistant Professor Library & Information Science, Central University of Himachal Pradesh (On Lien from Osmania University) http://oudl.osmania.ac.in http://sites.google.com/site/dimplerp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What we think, we become. ~ Buddha -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
