MY COMPUTER IS FRIED!!!! I LOST EVERYTHING!!

I hate this! I've had my computer a little over 1 year (Of course, after that one year mark, the warranty is over...thank god i purchased an extended one), and it just totally shut down, wouldn't load Windows...

Basically, I LOST EVERYTHING that was on my computer...my master's thesis, all my law school briefs, and ALL MY WEDDING STUFF!! I was hysterical yesterday...the only consulation is that a lot of the things I lost, I have hard copies...but I have no idea where to find them.

The wedding stuff, I lost all the images I downloaded from the web of things I liked.

I was crying all day yesterday, I felt like I lost a chunk of my life!

Thanks for letting me vent.

I called the company, and was on the phone with them all day yesterday...we tried everything! So, I had to use the Quick Restore CD, which restored my computer to the way I bought it, with nothing on it!

I'm OK now that I'm slowly adding all the software back...thanks everyone!

that happened to me Kathy - I lost 60 of my 90 page undergrad thesis. Luckily I had hard copies but I had to retype the whole thing.

You lost your law school briefs...are you still in school - did you lose notes too?

My first year I had a dell that kept crashing and eventually the hard drive went after losing all my notes once (my disk was bad) I now put things on disk, cd, and print to be sure.
