When it rains...
One week from my PC melting down, my wife's PC had a conniption too. Yes, her boot hard-drive failed last night. Unfortunately the whole physical drive failed, so it took the data drive too, along with ALL of the pictures of my daughter from the last 19 months. Yes, my wife was freaking out. Yes, I was pissed. No, we did not have any backups. I have the drive here with me at work now and am trying to get it up and running long enough to get the data off. Cross your fingers.
