Ever lost everything on your computer?

I installed leopard the other day (rocks btw, still has some bugs in it). But I went to partition the drive, thinking it would keep the data (I guess i need to read more), and it formatted my HD, I lost EVERYTHING I had on that comp. Including My Website, A site Monitor Project and a super secret project (sorry, can't tell, yet), A Database Editor Project (never got far). I Lost all the PSD's and Coding, oh and about 50 realbasic projects, one of which I had spent about 4 months on.

So, I have photoshop re-installed, and some plain apps that I need, and, I am now re-designing my website (different look, needs lots of work though...)

Anyone care to share their horror stories?

I had pretty much stuff on it and I got pretty pissed. But I didn't really have anything important on it. It's never fun when a hdd breaks. So much stuff just disappears. I also have the problem that when formatting, theres always something that I forget to save. Last time I forgot all my Photoshop brushes and whatever. Another time I forgot all my school things, and once all my game saves. __________________________________

DVD backups and RAID = win. __________________________________ Will Morgan Freelance Web Developer Next feature: How to fit 25 hours into a day!

So all I lost were my 2000 songs. I'm still catching up on them. Gah! And unlucky itunes lol __________________________________ Go play in traffic. Thx. Luv ya.
