But I can't figure out why I lost 16 meg after using windows. $ See if you added a permanent swap file during your $ installation of Windows.

While the swap file is the more likely explanation, you might also want to try CHKDSK/F to recover any lost clusters you may have. -- __ __ _ | ...!nexus.yorku.edu!xrtll!silver | always (__ | | | | |_ |_) >----------------------------------< searching __) | |_ \/ |__ | \ | if you don't like my posts, type | for _____________________/ find / -print|xargs cat|compress | SNTF
