Stephen, I had one hell of a computer hard drive failure, corrupted a bunch of files and I am painstakingly having to get back up an running one program at a time.

It corrupted the registry in Win95 and lost all kinds of dll, links and passwords. I suspect that Eudora Pro is the culprit as it did this one other time to a lesser extent. I think it has something to do with trying to use the program while it is fetching mail, then blows a gasket and losses mailing addresses and entire chunks of saved data.

The unfortunate part is that I normally back up the drives on a regular basis, but got lax over the past month and hadn't backed up since Thanksgiving. Then when I tried to back up recently I think it copied the broken clusters or corrupted data. What really is a smoker is that if I use earlier backed up material, then I loose my recent data, the stuff I use most, and need right now.

Damn, I've been going around in circles for the past week trying to resolve this.

Have a question. When I ran Diskscan and it found the lost or unattached clusters I then ran auto fix. There were several files that it couldn't repair but placed them in a log. The log seems to be in text format, but is there any way to use that information in the log to repair the damaged files?
