Don't cry, here have a new hard drive. Thankfully the motherboard tray is removable.

I feel very sorry for you I know how you feel, a few months ago i lost 50GB of music, 20GB of photos, and 70GB of my life :|

dude, I am so sorry. This happened to me twice. I lost so much of everything I wanted. I know how you feel.

Three words: backup your data

You can get a 500/750/1000/1500 GB drive these days for very little money. Throw it in a USB2.0/FireWire/eSATA external caddy and you have a good backup solution that'll keep you going for a long time.

LMAO!!! Asian chicks are FUGLY!!!

@ Sueycide_FD - there is no reason why you should loose one byte of your data unless there's been some sort of catastrophic hardware failure. Tell us more about what happened and we can help get it all back

Nah, I'm saving up for a few of these to stick in my own raid5.

Well earlier this morning, i booted up my computer but had to quickly run out, so i just hit the reset switch in the back to turn it off. Couple hours later i turn on my computer, but it dosen't get past the windows screen (nor do i get a bluescreen or my DFP turning on). Couple tries later, i begin testing the ram to see if thats the issue. Nope.

I check all my internal cords and what not, then try for the last time. This time it said i had a error in the windows file (pci.sys. i remembered clearly ). I tryed again and the error didn't come up, but never got past the windows screen.

At this point the computer is still open and leaned against the desk at a slight angle. It slips, but luckily not much of a bang. I just reinstall windows at this point, but when i reached the partition screen, it said my main 160 GB drive was 156GB free.

After it installed, i find out that all my stuff is gone. Luckly my 2nd hard drive (40 GB but was filled up with Fallout 3 and Gmod) wasn't emptied.

...ouch! , you did try recuva(the link above)?

So did u run chkdsk before nuking the hard drive? Chkdsk has fixed this error quite a few times for me before... Usually when iv not got to the boot menu quick enough and just hit reset instead of letting it boot and restart...

i thought of buying the 1.5tb drives that they were offering, until i heard about all the firmware screwups... i don't think i want a drive by-itself that big anymore.
