    cheers for the reply gonzo, managed to sort it out. Downloaded a cracked program called Recover My Files onto a windows machine and that was able to get me access

    the best thing for a situation like this is not to have a single copy on a flash drive tbh. i always email important stuff like that to myself

    Remeber this, you bought a mac, and when you were asked why the hell you would do something like that, you just smirked and said "They just work"


    Don't forget that.
