&%$§ß?*@ computer! Went to the IT guy from work today. He swears the hard drive is still okay, but to reach that astonishing conclusion, he defragmented and re-formatted my D:\ hard drive. Thanks so much. Now I can forget running the file recovery program. Gah. Plus the whole shit killed my internet connection, which -- thankfully -- I managed to reset after almost an hour. Great.

Hate this honking piece of shit! *kicks computer*
