It won't happen to me anymore. I learnt my lesson. I have a good antivirus+firewall now, and I make a backup every month.

Hard drives are so cheap compared to the time invested in the stuff on them, it makes sense to buy a second drive and set up a mirror in your operating system.
Unless your stuff is worthless...

There are companies that can restore usually 100% of information from any hard drive failure.
I mean, fire, flood, drop it out a 50 story window, they can usually get it ALL back.
Costs a pretty penny though, name is Drive Savers, from Novato, California, USA.
The were able to salvage tons of info from all the companies that had computers in the WTC, so yours would be no problem for them.
Dunno if there is anything easier, maybe e-mail them and ask if they have a simple solution.

I'm getting a new harddrive this week, I need more space. I've been waiting months for my uncle to put it in, it seems...
Anyway, he has to fuck around with my unpredictable computer, so I backed up all my porn and other stuff to CD-R.
MP3s can be erased, I don't care... I really don't mind re-downloading them again from Soulseek, I did it last summer... but the porn, I mean, I don't want to lose my best porn!!! Hard to find.

i'm back. actually managed to get the fucking harddrive started again... placed it as a "slave" and it slowly began to work after a few hundred reboots. now everything is backed up on my other harddrive... feels great. the transfer was a bit strange... my old harddrive stopped working like once every 2 minutes. very frustrating. oh well... that's over and done with. thanks for your support! computers hate us. sometimes. :)
