Lost it all, again!!! FFS

yet again my i have lost all my files and music etc.. this time it wasnt my fault

came home last night and my screen was blank with the little flashing thing in the top left hand of the screen, tried resetting numerous times but it wouldnt boot, every now and then it would boot but u would only be able to use windows for a little while before it hung, but it wasnt the OS it was like the computer couldnt find the things to run once you gave it a command!

anyway this arvo it got worse and when you tried to boot it gives you "Boot disck failure" etc....

so yeah i lost all my music and eveything!!

damn computers!

Your computer might have AIDs, do you have Norton Anti-Virus, or your PC has too many porn. J/K

Uhh if i were you i would get the newest windows and use the System Restore feature. But other than that you should get a new Mother Board.

We can all still burn songs for you.

dude I'm pretty sure you could save it.

Get a computer techy friend to transfer your HD into another PC, boot up on that pc using the existing HD and have your HD as the secondary drive and you can probably access it.

Wax complain to fushitsu see what they say. They made some dodgy hard drives a while back which had a huge failure rate. Might be able to get a replacement or something...

hehehe I think the point is that he lost the contents.
Hardware is easily replaceable.

Personal files like your digital photos cannot be replaced if you didn't make a backup onto another hard disk or CD.

Music files could somewhat be obtained again by copying others people's entire collections.
