I've stabbed my finger with a scalpel and bled all over the kitchen floor.
Do you not get a grown up to help with things like that?
 
I did manage to get a Linux to run from a CD on a machine that apparently had no hard drive as far as it was concerned. 'Puppy' I think it was called. That way I managed to get data off the HD because the Linux on the Live CD could see it, if not understand it or work with it.
the data was on the windows partition that was then formatted with a Linux mint build and virtually no drivers, so the data partition was not only formatted but some overwritten (luckily it seems that it only over wrote the operating system files and not too much of the data!)... I am having to do a low level scan (with the hdd as a 2ndard slave on my on laptop) to find the data minus the partition table.... luckily it is only a 160Gb hdd otherwise it would be taking a seriously long time.... I now have a lot of files called file0000234.jpg or file000126473.pst instead of whatever they were called previously and not all of them work. I have managed to repair 3 of the pst files using a MS repair tool.... now to work on the other files like the word documents and excel spreadsheets!

my trike has been disassembled ready for my holiday on Saturday... I am now bikeless... or should that be trikeless?

I can't find my crossword puzzle and now I'm clueless.
