I'm glad everything turned out to be OK. And thanks for the warning. I do back up but not as regular as I ought to. So you know what I'll be doing next.. Flower for the warning.

Glas it turns out well and that you still have your designs. I backup every 14 days so I cannot loos to many designs when it happens to me.

PHEW! What a relief! I'm so glad it all ended well.
Don't forget to grab some blank DVD's and just create data disks with 'copies' of all your designs as well as your back ups.
If you do it neatly from the start (LOL!) you can index them & when you want particular designs just insert the DVD's containing the types you're looking for. Double security & 1 DVD holds 7 times more than a CD. hugs n roses, M

I think that we need to set our machine to do auto back up on a timely basis. Say once a week, or least once a month! I know I would be heart sick if I lost the thousands of designs and info that I have, and probably would never use, but I don't want to lose it. Flowers to you for the stress you went through ****
