Well, actually a partition crash, but whatever...

Special thanks go out to Partition Magic for converting my main partition (containing over 85gb of data & documents) from NTFS to RAW -> "This partition is not formatted, would you like to format it now?"

Good bye music. Good bye movies. Good bye mail. Good bye documents. Good bye everything.

Just had to complain.
If I had all the answers, I wouldn't have any questions.

No backup. A lot of the stuff on the disc was sitting and waiting to be burned out on DVDs, unfortunetly I've been extremely busy lately, so I havn't had a chance to...

As for outlook/documents, I suppose I have a really old backup somewhere, but I doubt it's of any use.

Besides, it's not exactly simple to keep a backup of a 120gb disk.
If I had all the answers, I wouldn't have any questions.

Long story short, a low level sector scan and rebuild, and I have 99% of data back.
