Well, it finally happened,

My Hard Drive is now an inconvenient and expensive paperweight sitting on my desk

and of course, I was too stupid not to backup all my 200+ gigs worth of files from the last 3 years....

See, I had JUST reformatted external so I could take it over to my friends house and download some stuffs, and a few weeks later my computer simply refused to startup windows all the way, even in Safe Mode. My friend later diagnosed it as an HD Error (him being a "tech" guy since middle school) and we tried various things to get it working again (INCLUDING reinstalling windows and trying a separate HD to access the screwed up one)

Whatever the cause, I am unable to get to anything that was once on my computer, which I can only blame on myself for not remembering to do a backup on my external...

Lesson learned I suppose... =\

My only hope is to salvage my files off my old HD, most likely going to take it in to be looked at ASAP... but at least my friend sold me a used drive for 15 bucks, so im not COMPLETELY out of luck... I guess...

IF I cant recover my files that means the past 3 years of 3D modeling and animations are now history, and i'll have to start from square one all over again... which isnt QUITE so bad now that im more experienced, but its still a major loss of hard work and effort I put into my craft

Horrible hard drive related crashes aside, ive been making a decent amount of money at my summer job, and am looking forward to buying some things ive earned ^.=.^

*sigh* only a month before i move back to my apartment.... I hope I can make it @.=.@;
