Thanks guys - I need to get one for someone who works for the family business, but he's broke and only has about £250 to spend. I think I'll try and get him upto £300.
Dabs website seems to be f*cked.
I had a similar incident when going to Halfords to buy this 13 piece tool set for 88p

The f*cking cheap skate bastard.
The drive won't see the data so looks like we're going to have to do a fresh install
chkdsk /r or /p doesn't work - says there are unrecoverable partitions.

Thanks for your help.
Anyone every succesfully fixed this problem without having to do a fresh install of windows?
I've got from taking an image of an HP Desktop using Acronis True Image and restoring it to another HP. Has worked fine in the past using ghost doing a direct image from one drive to another.
Tried 2 different HP images - both get the same error.
