  Thanks so much for helping me save my data!
  
  Yesterday I made the mistake of attempting to use Partition Magic 8.0 in Windows2000, to merge two NTFS partitions on my primary HD without first reading all the instructions provided. A fatal mistake, I'll be certain not to repeat. I just figured I could follow Wizard instructions easily enough.
  
  Ok, so I failed to run CHKDSK first to make sure each partition is error free. The wizard ran smoothly and seemed to be ready to do what I hoped.
  
  To merge the 6.9GB C: with the 11.9 GB D:...
  
  I asked the software to apply the pending change, and it claimed it needed a reboot before this could take effect. As the computer powered back up, the merge partition process began. After about 15 minutes, error 1520 - while executing batch, and 1520 - attribute header mismatch appeared. The process appeared to fail, then when the compter came back up, the D: partition was empty, unformatted. And the C: partition had a folder I created to store the contents of D: but it was empty.
  
  File Scavenger to the rescue! I ran a defunct volume search on D: and recovered nearly everything. I thought all was lost. Thanks again...

  I think I'm a fairly intelligent person, until I do something stupid, like attempt to reformat my backup HHD, instead of my portable one...  It was all downhill from there...
  
  I was ridiculed by my Engineering Department (about how I should stay away from computers) and was read the riot act from my boss (who took it in the shorts from the Accounting Department, over the fact that they were working to close our fiscal year books and all the critical sales and material management reports were on "my broken computer").
  
  Not wanting to endure an endless litany of harassment by my Engineers, I spent the last four days attempting to find a solution to fix the mistake on my own...  Only problem was, I didn't know what I needed, nor did I feel confident about making the right decision...  (It's wasn't an "eeny-meeny-miney-moe" kind of issue, if you get my drift).
  
  Google dropped me into one of your testimonial pages and, after reading through most of them, I didn't feel so bad about the situation (as there appeared to be more than a few people that had been in my shoes), or the fact that I wasn't technically savvy either.  Initially, I thought maybe you had "padded" your site with great testimonials, but then I saw your product being recommended more than once on a public techie forum and was glad I bookmarked your site.  They were right on the money...
  
  Thank you for saving my butt, by creating a program that was easy to understand, lived up to the claims and didn't put a HUGE dent in my wallet.  I'm going to make sure that everyone knows about your product, as I truly believe it to be an invaluable tool to have in the "toolbox".
  
  Sincerely,

  Beautiful. Absolutely mind-boggling. The best $40 I ever spent. Thank you so much. The few directories that I really wanted to save come across intact.
  
  Whew.
