My computer screwed up a couple hours ago. Leaving me with no choice but to reformat... With no backup. Some of my files I got on CD's but they're hundreds of miles away. And some bastard stole my XP Pro CD.

So I've lost it all. I'm a sad panda.

This calls for either a disturbing amount of booze or several acts of violence. Maybe even both.

Data recovery, my friend. It's still there, if you don't write over it. Trust me. I've been there.

Forgot to mention two things:

1. To top things off: I lost my house keys.

2. Message me on ICQ. 21678717

I think my video card is dying :S

Moments ago it went mental.

I had to shut down my computer and restart.

I'm scared, hold me.

This is what I love about not having one computer...and one platform, for that matter.

If you don't find your WinXP cd, PM me. I've got back-up copies of my LEGAL Corp. Edition WinXP Pro SP1 around here.

Thats why you have partitions. I could format my C drive ten times over and would only lose my windows install, office install and antivirus. Not my documents, not my 80 GB of movies, not the 15 games I have installed or my 70 GB of random downloads (and dont forget the porn shock ) Partitions are your friend.

Which happened to me when I was 50 hours into Baldurs Gate 2.
