Lindsey, don't toss your computer just yet. Take it to a computer specialist because they can get probably get your pictures back for you. Our computer crashed and it was the hard drive and a friend came over and saved what we needed to keep off of our computer. You may only have a certain area of your hard drive that's not working so don't give up hope yet.

Lindsey, so sad you are having a bad day. Diana is right, you may be able to retrieve your pictures. I had a harddrive crash & a technician come, replaced the drive and managed to save most of my files. It sure taught me a lesson on backing up files though. I know have a 150 gig external hard drive.
I know it's hard, but stop, take a deep breath and count your blessings. You still have a lot to be thankful for, and these problems will pass.

Thanks everyone, I always feel better after coming on here and having people being so supportive! I actually got my friend (okay, ex-boyfriend) to look at my computer. He took it home with him and worked on it all night. He's fixed my family's computers for us for the past 3 years, and he loves working on them. Unfortunately, he told me he can't even get the computer to recognize there's even a hard drive there, and it's making weird noises. He was going to see if his friend could take it to work (computer store) to look at it, but I haven't heard from him in a couple of days. If I can get my pictures off it for not too much money that would be great since I wanted to get a new computer in a couple months anyway. And I should be glad that it died now instead of 2 months ago when I was still in school and didn't have my 50-page final project report backed up anywhere
![]() I'm still kind of upset about my car, but these things happen. At least the accident wasn't my fault, and nobody was hurt. The other woman was so apologetic and the first thing she said was "This was my fault" so I'm glad that if I had to T-bone anyone, it was someone like her! My boyfriend is on his way home now. He's probably 2 hours away right now. He said he would pick me up and take me to his house and give me a ride to work tomorrow. My car is still driveable, but a big chunk of bumper is hanging down and dragging on the road so I don't want to drive it for now. My brother is going to break that off for me when he has time. Thanks again for listening to me vent!

Sorry things have been so bad for you lately. It's hard not to get down when bad things seem to happen one right after another. Just keep a smile on your face and good things will come.

Sorry you had a bad week... seems these things happen all at once don't they.
Don't feel bad, i fried my desktop 2 days ago, so weird because the night before it worked no problem, it shut off like it normally does, next day i turned it on, and it couldnt find anything ![]() My husband took me to a computer store last friday, and told me that i need a new one, but i like my old computer, i also have all my work on there, wedding pics, doggy pics, and work that i do for my husband "this will teach me to back up" i took my computer to the specialist yesterday to see if they can repair it, my brother said if they can't he will take the hard drive out, and put it in his computer, to see if we can save some of the files. Right now i'm working on my laptop, but i don't like it, i much prefer my desktop. Same day, i fried my convection microwave ![]() ![]() ![]()

Lindsey and Mandy we'll keep our fingers crossed that your pictures can be recovered!!! That would be the worst part for me.
Hope everything gets better soon!!!!
