Not really, the Recovery utilities never work! It
hasn't worked on NT system crashes in the past either.
In this case it wanted me to logon as Administrator
but then said the password was incorrect.
I did pull the drive and try it on my other system.
All the files looked like they were there OK, even the
one that it said was missing! I didn't really have
anything to save though.
