25 gigs of space is sure a lot to get up and vanish...

anyhow, does your computer's remaining HD space reflect its disappearance?

If so, then it is gone. If your HD space is the same as it was beofre it vanished it's there somewhere.

if it's truly gone, you don't have Norton Systemworks installed and running do you? perhaps you could use unerase, though 25 gigs is a lot to unerase.

perhaps your file is invisible. if the HD space does not reflect its disappearance and a cmd F search yields no results, it may be invisible. if so, get yourself a copy of file buddy and then search for it.

hope this helps.

Stick up my ass? It was a joke. The Gremlins took them!

You are the one with the object up your orifice.

I didn't expect you to get the joke. And since you didn't, it would have probably been best for you just to not post.

Two steps forward (six steps back)

Hey Zim, I think you missed Spheric's joke. He wasn't picking on you, he was being funny. (studying the picture posted, you will find the funny soon!)

Oh jeesh..

I apologize Spheric.

I can't believe I missed that.

But still funny though.
