Though it's limited to partition recovery operations (damaged or overwritten), could be all you need to recover your data. In some cases, when the only portion of the hard drive that's damaged (or overwritten) is the partition table, simply restoring a partition will magically bring back all your data. Actually, the data isn't brought back--it was there all along, but without any OS-recognizable indication to its existence. Recovering the partition just makes it possible to see it again. …mehr

The buzz this week is all about the merger between Duke and Progress, leading to a mega-utility. According to Jim Rodgers in the , the merger "creates a company positioned for future financial strength and capability that will be greater than the sum of the two separate companies. Both companies are underway with significant fleet modernization strategies. We are updating our aging infrastructure to meet future demand growth projections and future environmental constraints. This combination will allow both companies to achieve additional cost savings and efficiencies, helping to minimize potential future customer rate increases." This seems to say focus is on "sustainability", in some ways similar to TXU going private. So, in that statement there is more emphasis on availability of capital for cleaner generation and perhaps a smarter grid to replace aging infrastructure, with less emphasis on what was emphasized during the 1999 to 2000 wave of mergers - synergy savings. This may mean that transformation and synergy savings will come at the same time, especially where IT is concerned. …mehr
