First time poster....apologies if this is off-topic.
Sean,
I do not have much details wrt your PC, but newer PCs from Dell and other manufacturers typically does not come with the setup CD for the installed software (this is a trend that I see for systems sold in the USA), you may have to call in to the PC manufacturer and ask for the specific steps needed to reimage your PC. There may be a 'hidden' partition on your current hard drive that can be 'reactivated' by running the restoration CD to reload all the typical software that was initially configured on your PC.

Prior to doing that, I would seriously consider working out the licensing issues with your copy of RMF to avoid doing more damages to the files that you have spent much time in trying to recover.
Graham, my question to you is if sites such as softpile and sharewareplaza are authorized distributors for GetData. I have tried out the trial version from the
download link and things looks to be promising. Planning to purchase the software while trying to save a few shillings. Just wanted to be sure that I will be getting a legit software key from an authorized distributor. The discounts offered is only 10% but that means a lot to me.
Thanks in advance....
