Ok, while we are not the subject, would everybody think I'm mad if I said that RESTORE once deleted my data files? I swear it happened, and
after that I removed a couple of partitions from the SYSTEM RESTORE
drive list (whatever it's properly called).
If SYSTEM RESTORE is supposed to touch primarily system files, I can't
help but wonder why it would want to look at drives that are not system
drives. Anyway, I am somewhat apprehensive about using RESTORE after
that experience.
Am I the only one who had lost data? Was I dreaming? Any comments?
