I did'nt delete anything...heres what I did I have one of those gadgets (tornado) to copy from one computer to another, I've used it before without a problem...do you suppose that singers data is still there is there a way to look at it? any help would be appricated, if I have to do this manually, my backup will never be current...thanks Ken

First of I know nothing about (Tornado) so I can't tell you that way but it is as hwheeler43 replied.
To try and lay this out as simple as possible try this: Plug a usb stick or hard drive into the Toshiba computer. Now navigate through Widows to your Hoster Folder (Start/Computer/C/MTU/Hoster) and search for a file named "
singers.mbd" right click the file and from the window that opens select "copy" now navigate through windows explorer to the hard drive or usb stick right click it then select paste.
Now plug the usb stick or hard drive into your dell computer. navigate again through Windows explorer to this drive and find the file that you pasted there, right click again select copy.
Then on the Dell computer find your Hoster folder again (Start/Computer/C/MTU/Hoster) Right click the Hoster folder and select paste. You will probably get a box pop up saying already exists, just select an option to copy the new file.
As I have said before, will only work if all files and folders follow identicle paths on each computer.
