Leon,

Why don't you start a new thread to get some help. There may be someone here who would know a much less expensive way to get them from your laptop and/or the digital HD. I thought it was fairly easy to retrieve data when deleted from computers.

I'm sorry that this didn't work for you for very long. I better watch that new Western Digital of mine!

Now I'll need to spend $1000 or more to get the data back.
