ADMIN: Catestrophic Data Failure

I hate Windows.

I came down at about 4am while feeding my son to see that my machine couldn't find my harddrive. Yay. I decided to ignore it until morning only to find that the HD has been corrupt. So I went out to grab a USB External HD case and mount it on Kirky's laptop.

Trying various shareware/freeware data recovery programs - GetDataBack at the moment - to see if it works. If I have the drive plugged in, Windows takes a LONG time recognizing it's even there...and even then doesn't let me do anything. We'll see.

Last resort is data recovery service.
