FUCK!!!!!!!!  
I cried, I raged, I threw things. And no I'm just sad. And resigned. And pissed. Today is officially much with the suckage.

I treie dto save my computer and managed to format the cd drive. Yo man. Except that the C drive was actually the D drive. Which was actually home to ALL my websites, fanart,icons etc... or more importantly, all the raw data. The hearts. The psd's. My digital photography, my fanart wips, my angel eps,a lot of the stargate eps, my emails. It is ALL gone. My bsg,my aryn, myscreencaps and most importantly, the wedding poster I made for my friend peggy. Which I hadn't saved. Nor printed yet. It's a freaking disaster!!!

Gonna cry some more. Worst Sunday ever.

Do not (necessarily) despair.

1. have a hug.

2. breathe into this paper bag.

3. Now tell Doctor Fix-It all about your system:
- hardware
- operating system
- what exact commands you gave

The chances are *extremely* good that everything is still there, just hidden from you. There are a bunch of ways to un-hide it, and we can help you with them.

Are you at a university? If so, there are definitely people whose job it is to help you with these things.

DO NOT DESPAIR!!

The computer asked me where I want to install windows on. I told it to use the c drive. Only the c drive it seems, was actually the d partition.

So It formatted the drive and then instaled the new software.

Thanks for the hugz.

Oh my goodness...I am SO SORRY hon.
Wow...I don't even know what to say. I hope that there is someway to get back all of that data that seems lost right now.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on August 22nd, 2006 02:16 pm (UTC)
I found a way to get even some of it back, thank god.

Hey wait--have you tried a system restore to, say, 2 days ago?

Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

give it a whirl...
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on August 20th, 2006 02:43 pm (UTC)
I tried that..restored the system to before...but the files are still gone...
[identity profile] brasaremean.livejournal.com on August 20th, 2006 02:15 pm (UTC)
theers a 99% chance its all still there! i did that once and lost literally my whole G drive instead of C which basically had all the same yours had
like...10000 songs, all ps files, all family pics, all vm eps
i took it to the service and they restored the thing!

Sorry :(

Actually, I'm an idiot. You might not have erased everything. There are ways to get some of that stuff back, and people who get paid a lot of money to do so.
I might know someone who could help, but I can't seem to reach her at the moment. As soon as she gets in touch I'll pass on any info I have!

Oh no! **hugs**

Listen to mecurtin, she's saying everything I'd have told you -- but apparently with better uber-tech support immediately available.

If you don't make any more changes to your D drive, chances are excellent that you'll recover 95% or more of your data.

If you're feeling brave and/or poor, look here to find a number of free data-recovery tools.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on August 20th, 2006 10:11 pm (UTC)
Yeah, she rocks.. I suck at this stuff, seriously.

I tried 3 of the progs on the link. I did manage to get some screencaps and... the irony, my brothers porn.

thanks sweetie.l

Elli, you're probably feeling exhausted and shitty right now, but I'm sure there is a way to recover at least parts of it. When a friend wanted to donate a computer to charity, a tech guy we know told him to format the drive at least 18 times to make sure no one could mine it because once or twice isn't enough. So if you only did it once...there's hope yet! In any case, you still have a lifetime of awesome art in you.

Oh, that sucks, that happened to my work computer, they restored a lot of it, but some of my programs still aren't there.

I wish I could offer you more than just *hugs* but I'm so tech challenged, I would probably just make things worse.
