Since I am a stupid ass, I decided that I would fix my own laptop last night when it tanked post-Windows Vista update.
Big mistake.
I hit “restore factory settings”, because for one brief befuddled moment this sounded like a good idea, and I didn’t realize until about half a second later that my entire hard drive – INCLUDING music files – would be completely wiped clean.
It all is wiped, and I am bereft.

I only saved about 20 gig of my 60-80 gig of music on my iPod, and consequently everything is Fucking Gone.
I won’t share just how much I swore yesterday, but birds were dropping from the trees in horror.
Never again. Next time I call my friend Chris the uber-programmer STAT and let a professional handle the glitches.
As a result of all this malfunction, I am relentlessly crabby.

RELENTLESSLY crabby.
Here’s hoping coffee will provide respite and not just fuel the fire.
Happy Thursday.
If you bought any music off iTunes, they’ll let you re-download any songs you’ve paid for. You only get a certain number of times you’re allowed to do that, but it sounds like now would be a good time.
shit that sucks. I feel ya. I hope you can get things back.
You might be able to recover that. Turn off your computer, and check with your friend and see if he can get that stuff back. Some of it will still be there, it’s just be flagged to be written over as you download and save new things.
Here’s hoping the crabby eventually relents.
I agree- your friend might be able to do something. Just don’t send it in to the computer people. I’ve had my harddrive wiped before. Irreversibly. I even included a note asking them not to. Sigh.
