    This thread should serve as a hard lesson to anyone that has important files on a hard drive. To be blunt, if you only have one copy of something, then you obviously do not care about it. Your hard drive WILL fail or become corrupt...it's not a matter of "if," but "when." YOU MUST BACKUP CRITICAL DATA!
