my computer is toast

Hard drive is wrecked. I'm going to get a new one today and fix it dude will install it for me Monday. All stuff is lost, photos, everything. Which sucks. I may be able to get some back off of my time capsule though, we shall see.

Oh NO. Are they going to try and retrieve the stuff off your drive?

If they don't have specialists (I am sure they do) I have a tech friend of several decades experience who does data recovery...and it's not the $1,000 job either!

If you can swing it, get a small external backup drive - see if the repair guy can give you a deal.

Here's a sampling of what they are. Page one here is not listed in price order, so have a boo. Don't even bother with page 2! :eek:

I am going to memory express today and have a trusted friend and computer geek doing the work.

I'm sorry to hear the entire hard drive is wrecked, do they know what caused it? I've had that happen before and I lost everything including all my pictures from Italy. I know know to back up everything to either Photobucket or CD's. It is certainly a hard lesson learned. I hope your Mac is up an running soon.

I am apparently getting one next year for college, can't wait for that. :D

I love Memory Express! If you are in the NW store (likely you are in the NE one), say hi for me!

Will be there later to get an updated audio card and 1GB RAM to boost the Win 7 I am running.

I dont store anything on my PCs, I have a small home server that I store everything on and it duplicates anything Im worried about losing over multiple hard drives.

I've got the Mac Time Capsule for doing all my back ups. Unfortunately it has been a bit since it ran a back up. But it should still have alot of stuff on it.

I actually went to the memory express on 58th Avenue by Chinook Centre. What a cool place. What nice people. I am hoping by Monday night to be back in a Mac world.
