the worst day of my life

[seh1980]

hello everyone,

This doesn't really have anything to do with anxiety but I thought I'd tell you all anyway. Ed and I went to the computer shop today to buy what we needed to set up a home network so that we could both be on the internet at the same time. Well, we came home all excited and started to set it up. The next thing we know...my computer has basically died on me and is now not working at all. I called a PC helpline and have been told that Windows has been corrupted. The technician took me through a process that would retrieve all the info but it didn't work. So...everything on my computer has been erased including....Yes, my 20,000 word dissertation that is due in 3 weeks!!![V] what a nightmare!!!
I'm going to take my laptop to PC World tomorrow and hope for a miracle. Please keep your fingers crossed for me peeps!!

Poor you - what a nightmare!!!

I take it you didn't have a backup on floppy or anything?

They will be able to recover it - they can do miracles now. Pity you don't live close to me cos Alex would have been able to get it back for you I expect.

Please, once you get it back - get a copy ok?

Hey Sarah,

That is such a bummer. I'm not really a techie person but it did happen to me before also at work, dropped my coffee all over my PC, thought I was for the chop, but as it turned out they were able to retrieve everything. It's quite amazing what they can do and what gets saved in the background, protected. Don't worry till the techs have had a look.

No Nic, I hadn't saved it anywhere else - pretty silly of me, huh? Just wasn't expecting this to happen. Oh well, I know for the future now.

hello again everyone,

Well, a technician is coming over tomorrow afternoon to try to retrieve my files for me. He told me not to be too hopeful as it sounds like my whole harddrive has been wiped. I'm just gonna pray...
