Sunday April 23rd 2006 - a truly crappy day
Well, I broke my computer.
Yeah, that's right. I broke it.
I had been having some issues with the case of my computer and, since it was built by a friend and I, I figured I could move the innards from case to case and be better off.
Sadly, I got everything right but one tiny thing.
Somehow, in the process, my 250GB harddrive went a bit screwy. It lost my partitions and with that, close to 200 GB worth of files. A bulk of that was music, and a lion's share of that was bought legally, and a healthy portion of that is irreplaceable.
Luckily, my friend Brad came to the rescue and found a program available over the internet that recovered my files. Using this, I am backing up said files to DVD. This is an intensely long process and in a little over 6 hours, I managed to back up 2/10 of half of the files.
Yeah, it's gonna be a while.
Yay me.

Nothing scares me quite like mingling the phrases "lost" and "200 GBs". Good to hear it's recoverable.
