Hi!
> Why 20 times? How is it possible to recover a file that has been overwritten once?
Because hard drives use magnetic imprints (I don't know the exact term

Hey everybody...
I would appreciate some recommendations from you... I need to share my
documents between WinXP and Linux. Since NTFS was not recommended as a
R/W FS, I went for FAT32. I therefore have the following partitions:
hda1 ntfs read-only C: (WinXP)
hda5 vfat read-write D: (Data)
Hi everybody! :)
Here is the conclusion to my problem story ;)
I finally got my WinXP CD (w/ my luggage) back from the airline... So I
could finally try the "fixmbr" utility, but without success. Also,
Partition Magic told me that a couple of things were screwed up and

Is that true even if I booted with the PM floppy and directly into PM,

What is on it is very valuable, but more the environment as a whole than
the individual files. Before installing Linux, I did backup all my
data, project source code, emails, contacts, etc. So all this is in a
safe place. Ho
Hi everybody!
I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows XP installed on a 30GB hard drive
(with a single NTFS partition). I wanted to install Mandrake 9.1 with
dual boot handled by LILO. I therefore installed Mandrake with the
"resize Windows partition" option. However, it looks like I've lost
