It finally happened. My hard drive crashed and is not accessable. On my new pc purchased 8 mo's ago. Warranty covers a new drive loaded with windows but I never backed up my sets so oops. I'm gonna go cry now. :shock: :
Depending on how much it's worth to you, there are places you can send your HDD to and they can recover the data for ya. I don't know how much it costs. You could probably google "data recovery" or something and find a slew of places.
$80 dollars with the "GeekSquad" at your local Best Buy....but there is a program out there that will allow you to get info off of it....but I can't remember what its called.
Thank you all for the help and suggestions. I ran a data recovery program that recovered 50,000 files of jibberish. While staring at the HD sunday trying to will it into submission, I noticed my norton program I just installed last week was also a emergency boot disc. I popped it in and suddenly my motherboard saw my HD. Never found any thing wrong so I'm still gonna get a new HD. Thank you Jesus!

Cool, that's great to hear.
You should still give me your setups to hold on to in case it ever happens again :lol: .
