My PC crashed yesterday, and now I've lost ALL my pic's, included appliancepictures, ALL my music, ALL my videos.....everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrr.... sad sad sad!!! *crying*
Don't panic yet. Find yourself a geek or an IT person--they have tools called "disk crackers" that can sometimes retrieve lost files and it is there job to save the day for people like us who refuse to back-up.
a computer friend of mine took out my old hard drive, put it in the freezer (yes, you read it right) and an hour later hooked it up and it ran again long enough to get the files off of it! Don't even ask me why it worked! Mark PS best of luck with yours!
