Decided the other night to power down the puters, did the normal trick, turned 'em off and went to the mains and switched off there as well.
Came back yesterday morning and pwered them back up…
MY MAIN RIG HAD FORGOTTEN IT HAD A PRIMARY PARTITION!! 
:mad: :eek:
New Years Resolution : Back up the puter from time to time
Still shellshocked at the moment that EVERYTHING has gone… over 300cd’s, piccies etc etc :eek:
Get the drive into another rig and get some recovery software, if the partition table is corrupt there may be enugh data for a good recovery app to repair it and get your data back.
Then - one word RAID 
DT.
Nasty…
I got myself some backups of my documents and as soon as I’m back at uni, I’m backing u the programs I use, reformatting and starting from new…
And hope I keep the dam My documents folder intact :s
At least it wasn’t the mainboard mate.
Do not mess with this, get the hdd into another rig, install some recover sw (if you need a hand with this let me know i have a few apps i can loan) and you will recover the it to a spare hdd i hope…
