However, if you were to contact Consumer / Fair Go / your Citizan's Advice Bureau they may be able to help you. For your friend who had XP loaded and wasn't given the disks - Microsoft would be really interested to hear about one.

When I questioned him originally about why he had told me there was no retrievable data, he said he had wanted to make it 'as painfree as possible' for me! And when I questioned him as to why he had only rescued some files and not all of them, he said it was because I had said that only My Documents and my emails were important. When he originally ran Windows XP to try and repair it, he had shooed me out of the shop 'you ladies go and have coffee'. When I came back 20 minutes later he said there was no retrievable data. I now believe that he did repair Windows, but pretended he didn't so he could make some money out of me. Paranoid I know, but this man is a nightmare! hers, do you know of any computer shop association I could lay a complaint with? I have just spoken to another local woman who took her bridge club computer to him to get Windows XP put on. He put it on, but the hard drive did not have the capacity for it and in the process he wiped off all their data. So they took it to another computer shop which retrieved their lost data then asked them for the XP CDs. When they went back to him for it (he had charged them, but not given them the disks). He made a lot of excuses, but it turned out he had just loaded up Windows XP from his own copy and charged them the full amount. Surely he should be prosecuted for this? This has been pretty traumatic all around, I've lost a lot of money and all my emails and address book plus all my photos. Thank goodness for darling Emily.

I didn't even worry about retrieving anything (lucky to have only had the computer a short time). Thank god for flickr, or all my photos would be gone.

I run a small business and this sort of job is my bread and butter. It's so simple to check for all the other important things that people have. Crooks give the rest of us a bad name. And that's far more than she should have paid for a job like that. This makes me so angry.
