Default My computer took a dump on me :(

Ok so I'm extremely pissed! Last night i couldn't get into my D drive it said it wasn't formatted........I was like **** it, whatever.............this morning i restarted and tried again and it didn't work, i called up some companies that do system recoveries and they all diagnosed it was hardware issues and it would be unrecoverable unless they took it apart which would cost me about 1500 dollars...............

It was one of my storage drives so it had all sorts of files on it. I just lost 250GB of information well actually about 230ish, but it still hurts...........the worst is I lost all my pictures that I won't ever be able to get back, it almost makes it worth it to pay the 1500............the only reason I am kind of holding back is I have sensitive material on that drive as well...............I don't care that I had a ton of porn on there but I have stuff from work that has all sorts of personal info about people that I have at the office so it isn't lost but its stuff I wouldn't want other people to see. Also I lost over 2000mp3s all I have to listen to now are full cds off one of my other drives and it sucks...........

I hate life.............

LOL that actually made me laugh about the situation for the 1st time! gracias!


It was a Maxtor..............

Time to get a 500GB HD?

Losing work data isn't that bad since i have it at work..........but i just don't want to send my HD in to some company so then they can see it when they get my porn and pics for me
