Hi,

well, that was one of the first things I was considering. Here in Jamaica 
where i live (though I am a German) is no company offering such recovery 
services, I would have to send the harddrive by mail to a location in the US 
(they are the closest where you could find such companies) and hope the 
harddrive will arrive (not a guarantee here in Jamaica).

But even so, such recovery services are immensily expensive. And meanwhile, 
with all the file operations on that harddrive, their space must have been 
overwritten many times.

Yes, of course it was my own fault to have my own ideas where I want to 
store my files. But that all wouldn't have happened if POV-Ray's installer 
wouldn't move around my own files. That is the cause for my fault, I would 
think. And yes, I agree, the POV-Ray's installer needs to be smarter, as 
mentioned in the previous postings of other newsgroup members. Remember, 
what we do here is not to say "Your Fault", "My Fault", what we try to do 
here is to give constructive suggestions to make things better and saver, 
and more user-friendly.
