Seriously....This Stinks!!

About a week ago Kevin and I sent our laptop into dell to get the left mouse button fixed before our warranty expired. So since then I have been left at home with no computer and nothing to do:) I could have got on to use our desktop but that thing takes like an hour to move from one thing to the next...and that is just more anoying than anything! So yesterday when I heard the doorbell ring and saw the fedex man standing there with the laptop, lets just say I was very excited. I called Kevin and he explained to me how to install the hard drive so I could use the computer. I was very impressed with my skills at installing the hard drive, and as I am waiting anxiously for the computer to start up...the dreaded screen of something is wrong pops up....media error...nothing found!! A few hours later when Kevin got home we realized that somehow in the process of the hard drive just sitting on the desk while the computer was being fixed it mysteriously got ruined!! (no it had nothing to do with my installing it) We now have a computer with a left mouse button that works but no hard drive! We lost all the pictures from halloween and Janey's 2nd birthday. Luckily we had just done a backup of all the rest...but still it makes me sick to think we lost just those. Luckily we had the small hardrive that was sent with the computer when we bought it so I am at least able to use the internet. On the bright side of things...I was able to accomplish alot around the house while the computer was gone. I reorganized all my kitchen cupboards yesterday, that is something that has needed to be done forever! It felt really good to use my time wisely:) I just realized as well that I have been tagged by a couple different people. That will be my next post, I just need more time to decide on the quirks.

I am so sorry. I know how it feels to loose pictures. It is awful. Wendel ran a recovery program on my computer and was able to recover all of the stuff we thought was gone forever. Maybe something like that could help?

Aaah! I'd have gone crazy without a computer. Seriously. I'm impressed that you did so well.

And sorry about the pics. :-(

That totally stinks! How annoying. So we need to hang out if you're bored.

I'm so sorry!! I hope you can somehow figure out a way to get them back!

How frusterating. This happened to us last year, but the problem was that Pepsi mysteriously got dumped into the hard drive (I'm afraid I have to admit that this was probably my fault).
Sorry that you lost some pictures:(
