Well I'll tell my story... the quick and simple
I've always had multiple drives in my system so one day I'm going to format a newly installed drive.... I instead wound-up wiping the primary hard drive..... and everything on it
They only thing that made life bearable was that I had older copies of data scattered throughout CD's and hard drives. Still lost a lot of data though. After that.... I learned the valuable lession of doing backups on an regular basis, and backing up anytime I do major maintenance
So yeah, always backup that data you need/want
Anyway this thread is about the demise of gadgets so we'll keep it there
