    If your windows install is gone then you can't get the info off your C drive any more. Reinstalling Vista will wipe everything (if there's anything left).

    Btw, I'd guess you haven't wiped your Vista install yet so you're probably okay. Try this http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ . It's what I always use when reverting a machine back to Windows only. Works a treat and have never had trouble using it.


    **** i wish i had seen that before ...

    anyway .. things ok now ... I re-installed Vista ...
    and got back 75% of my files with recuva (www.recuva.com)- great little app and free!!

    since it was a new PC i didn't have much precious stuff on it ...

    mostly downloads , films, tv shows ... got back most of them

    but lost a little PHP/mySQL db application i wrote :(

    still i can remmeber the guts of it ...

    and have learned an important lesson ...

    thanks all for help .
