So far, so good with the hard drive! Jeff's genius brother was able to extract the ONE crucial file that I couldn't recover from losing. I couldn't be happier about that :) So, we're off to a good start.
The last thing I heard was that he was going to try extracting the rest via brute force, and basically just let it do its thing until it dies. I'm not sure if he was able to recover additional My Documents data (that was my 2nd primary need... the remainder of my work files), so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. If I had my way, I'd at least get the rest of the My Documents data - all of it. Not just work related.
It goes without saying that I've lost my music, photos and video library, which crushes me, really. I had some great stuff in there. Some of it was at least backed up on my external hdd... maybe I'll get lucky and discover that the majority of it was backed up :)
I can always recover my movies & music... that won't be a problem. Just time consuming. The good thing is that Jeff has a LOT of the same movies & music that I did, so probably half of what I want is already on his hdd. The photos? I am not sure. I know I emailed myself a lot of my photos, to ensure I would never lose them, but I'm not sure I emailed everything. I'll lose some here & there in the process, but I still consider myself SO lucky that I didn't lose the most important things.
Anyway... Yesterday, I wished to blog about good news today. And I am. So for that, I am grateful :)
