My hard drive just died on me. I lost just about everything. So much for a compsci.

Wait till your hard drive suddenly dies on you. Comment then. I spent the last four hours recoverying anything I could.
I kept lots of backups after that...floppies are good for text files and documents, and CD-Rs are good for big stuff like MP3s. Or use a second hard drive for that. -

LOL, I know what you mean...my hard drive failed about three years ago and I lost absolutely everything, and then about a month later the motherboard started causing all kinds of problems and I thought I'd lost everything again, but luckily the HD wasn't damaged and the comp worked again after I replaced the MB.

I thought I'd watch some movie while I eat my late lunch. Once I pop the DVD in, it just wiped out absolutely everything, including the entire windows directory. -
