Let's see now, no redundancy sadly, IT was a pretty much full 18TB drive with only JAV on it. I tried a ton of recovery options, even paid for one of the better, supposedly, file recovery programs. All I managed to get were a very small fraction and those had lost their names and I am now discovering that they too are corrupt,, ahh well, easy come easy go. On that front what really is a drag is ,,, long story, short version, horrible internet, no choice for better (7Mbt/sec) So trying to recover what I lost is a very time-consuming prospect and time is something that I have a short supply of,.. IN any case, thanks for the thought. It was another poster looking for identification of these files so I'm sure he will appreciate what you have done. the "Good+cunt" I am pretty sure is a ASW file, I'll dig around and see if I can figure out what one.. I'm still hoping that someone will be able to ascertain who that Yellow kimono girl is. THanks again Krack.
