I just realized that I have lost my entire Suicidegirls folder upon formatting my computer. I copied over everything to my external HD, and I swear that I double checked it...I guess not. I lost all of my website files as well. All the important directories are gone.

I'm really sad, as I don't have backups of any of my old photo sets, high res edits, screen caps, fan art...they're all gone. Some of those photos I won't be able to find anywhere, and the edits that I had will take me hours to reproduce.

The website content is still on my server, but I no longer have any of the hi res PSD files with the layers. All of my "works in progress" are gone, my sister's website that I was working on included.

I never thought that I'd be this upset about losing a bunch of computer files

If anyone has any of those older sets (the MR ones, "Virgin Skin", "Urban Decay", etc) or fan art, please let me know!!!

In lighter news, someone turned me into a PS3 theme:

I'm really sorry to hear you lost all of that. I totally know what you mean, like it shouldn't be that big of a deal to lose files, but it is kind of heartbreaking. *hug*

That fucking bites, so sorry.

Depending on how much you've installed over top of your formatting, you may actually have a chance of retrieving some of it. Do a search for hard disc forensic/recovery software. Good luck!

ps: that's radtacular about the PS3 theme though

Ugh I feel so sad for you. I hate when shit like that happens... can you try to reverse the formatting? Sometimes it's possible, and you can usually restore alot. *hug*

Can't wait to see you Friday!! xx

Oh crap! That's awful.

Last fall my hard drive died, but I was lucky that it gave me some warning. Was making awful grinding noises. I was able to transfer almost everything to an external drive before it finally died.

I'd suggest using a data recovery service, but that costs a fortune and I know you don't have that.

On the plus side - I'm glad your cat is doing better.

Sorry to hear about your computer troubles. That really sucks that you lost all your files. I was hoping to catch up with you at Gala but I take it you couldn't make it out. Hopefully I'll see you at Fan Expo!

Uhhhhggg so frustrating- I had this happen to me once before. Now I back everything up to two sources, check them, and then reformat.

Try a data recovery program and see what it can do for you, sometimes they can pull a lot of what you need off of the drive.

Missed you at Gala this year- it would have been nice to see you!
