Re: How can I retrieve a permanent deleted word document?

I suppose if your kids could get the thing to boot in DOS mode, then they
could do some damage with Format C:

I had to use a Bart PE last time I wanted to do it.

Of course, it would be good idea not to leave a Bart PE CD lying around.

Well yes, but why are you making such a point of beating yourself up about
it?

And if you come home one day to find that YOUR kids have been
experimenting
to see what Format C: does, what are you goanna do?

You going to continue beating yourself up, or are you going to recover
those
files?
