Thanks, Agent Dave, I will remember that if this ever happens, again.

BillD, my mistake for NOT doing that before we sent it to her. I think she has learned her lesson, I hope. I will make sure she puts a lock in it from now on.:-)

John, thanks for not saying it might of been the HD before, I really woulda freaked!:-) It's okay if they cannot recover any of it. It was just all of our pictures I'd loaded from mine to hers, plus a few small programs that she hadn't even learned to use, yet, so no great loss. It just bothers me to have personal files lost like that. So glad I have an external backup HD now.

Thanks, again, folks. I really appreciate.
