not the notebook as a firewall but the tower that I've had since 95 and that
has had linux on it since 2001

My father ran the restore utility once and erased everything so there is
nothing worth saving left. I spent aout .5 hour looking for some files he
said he wanted.... oops! I was going to copy them to a USB drive and then put
them on the tower and email them. Yet alas! they are gone. I know I coulld
look this up but how does one format a drive with a windows file system....
what I amm thinking is that the filesystem got corrupted and then windows
couldn't read it.
What do you think about that?
