Greetings,
Well, yesterday I turned my PC on and I got a blank screen with the words:- Windows has shut down your computer to save from further damage. Please insert your windows XP disc and press 'r' to recover.
Now, the thing is that I couldnt even get to press F8 to try a previous restore point. It just died. After hours of screwing around I isolated it to the pagesys file on the C drive.  It is a Diamond Maxator 200Gb SATA drive only a year old with ALL my CFS1,2 and AF99 files I have been working on for the past 3 months. I managed to make it a slave drive using an old 4GB Seagate as a host drive(after formatting it for Windows XP) and configured it to see my Maxator.
To my relief the drive came up and I downloaded all my essential files to my other computers. Not to tempt fate, I will get a new HDD this week and just use the Maxator as a slave drive, later on I will reformat it, but it wont be a primary anymore.

Anyway, I managed to finally finish the P-47 'Razorback' which is a D-5 model, however it could also be painted as a 'C' model(very little external differences). I am as I write this, uploading it now. This will be my last plane for a while, I know I have said it before, but I got a new job and am building a new house, so I need a break.

I have to say thanks to my wife for posing for the noseart on this new P-47. I needed a model for the artwork of 'In the mood'. Once you download it you will know what I mean. It was an actual plane as well!

Ok, I will watch the forums, thanks to all who have tried my planes, I hope you get hours of fun shooting them down, or even flying them occasionally.

Thanks
