DAMN, drat, and b0ll1ks

Ok a big sorry for the expletives , but....

My ancient PC went bang again. I thought I'd got it all backed up, but yep you guessed it I lost the the only thing I hadn't thought about. My e-mail contacts.

If you were on my mailing list before or wish to be on my mailing list would you mind sending me a PM with your present e-mail.

I get a lot of jokes and stuff so please mention if you wish to recieve jokes or not. I do not forward anything too riske'


I am sorry and apologise and have bought a load of back-up memory and will endeavour to not let this happen again. I refuse to buy a new PC as I'm really attached to this one after 8 yrs.

I'd love to mate, but funds don't allow.

Apparently an ipod has more memory than my old PC.
Nobody has PM'ed me yet so maybe the ship is sinking.

If your Hard drive still works but not booting, you can access it and get back all your outlook info after installing windows on another Hard drive. Is complicated, But I have had to do it twice now! luckily.
From
C:\Documents and Settings\"user"\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
and find the "outlook.pst" file.

If the HDD works, it is possible.

I would be inclined to buy a new hard drive, they're dirt cheap now. Reinstall your Windows O/S and whatever applications you have.
You can then try installing your old drive and see if Windows finds it as an additional hard drive i.e. D:, E: etc. If that doesn't work, there are a number of free utilities on the net that should allow you to interogate the drive to salvage any files that you need.

Thanks for all your well mean't advice guy's.
I have sorted the PC, no problem. It was all my fault for not backing up my address book.
Remembered to regularly save everything thing else.

It was only when I formated the software that I remembered.

Sorry what I meant was, If you wish to be on the South east region mail list for events etc, would you please PM me your e-mail to add to the list. This includes all and everyone who was on it before.

Could you please state if you would like jokes and humour sent.
I will not send jokes and stuff unless you tell me you wish for it. Not a problem if you later decide it's too much. I don't tend to send out any smut.

Dave,

I have an oldish (about 2 years) pc sitting about which I will probably bin as it's getting in the way.

If it's any good to you let me know and you can have it.

As for the other stuff you can only have my e-mail if you promise to send lots of smut.
