thanks!
didn't help, though.
Data Rescue was the first thing i tried, but i guess i was to late. Couldnt find anything. this job was suppossed to give me a lot of opportunities for other jobs (kind of like a big test from the employer to see if i could do it). feel almost naseaus now when i think of all nights i will have to sit up working now. this is my holiday.
i should have done the whole backup routine more often, but after 20 years of no problems i got lazy.
