We still haven't received the code drop. The last I heard is that it's supposed to happen this afternoon.

Talked with one of the members of the server team. He talked me through the process of checking my email via the web, using a spare SecureID he had. The bad news is that my old email is not on the server -- it's on the bad hard drive. The good news is that I already started the data recovery process at home, using GetDataBack for NTFS. It's analyzing the disk as we speak. But I'll need to pony up $79 if I'm to actually pull the data from the bad disk.

In the meantime, our in-house IT guys found the Office 2003 disk, but since it's not going to help me get my email back, I declined to install it.

Meanwhile I'm passing time reading articles about hockey teams and players on Wikipedia.

And I'm on daddy duty tonight. I hope M doesn't want to play computer games this evening.

Since you're *nix-savvy, I can recommend The Sleuth Kit for recovering the data - http://www.sleuthkit.org/

It's Open Source.

I've not kept up with TCT, Autopsy, etc, once we switched to in-house tools, but it's a nice little setup and you can swap back and forth between the command-line or GUI (and it'll show you what command-line options the GUI is translating to if you're looking to learn more).

Not as pretty as the commercial products, but it IS free, and there is good support available online since it's popular amongst law enforcement and digital forensics types.
